| The Project
Mamallapuram
/ Mahabalipuram is located at 70
km in the south
of Chennai, on the Coromandel Coast,
in the State of Tamil Nadu.
The
indian Company Kalou
Adventure & Culture, created by french
people, has decided to help the tourists to discover the stone
carving in Mamallapuram, by proposing the teaching. It aims
also to help the stone
carvers by creating for
them one internet site.
| | The teaching of stone
carving
The
teaching must be flexible, openned to beginners
who generally, don't stay for longtime in Mamallapuram. The teaching is
free, people give something or buy something in the shop, if they have
appreciated the service.
Mostly they are very
happy and proud to have carved a lizard, a turtle or a pendant.
Some well inspired carve a Ganesh. They have also had good
contact with the Indian workers who are always ready to answer all
their questions.
The
company sponsorizes one team and her workshop, the Samy Stones shop,
managed by Murugan Periyasami (130 Fishermen Colony - 603104
Mamallapuram), helping them to buy some tools and to do
advertising..
