βThe true India resides in its villages.β
It is these villages, with their myriad cultures and way of life, that truly epitomise the diversity that India has come to be known for, across the world.
But how often do you come across a hamlet nestled deep in a forest, where none of the inhabitants wear footwear, even while venturing out in public spaces?
No, we are not kidding.
Vellagavi, a quaint little hamlet, with a sparse population of 150, exists in relative obscurity in comparison to its extremely famous neighbour, Kodaikanal.
Located amidst the undulating forested terrains of Western Ghats, there are no roads in this hamlet, and the number of temples far exceeds the number of houses! Perhaps, that is the reason why the inhabitants of Vellagavi refuse to wear any footwear, in reverence to the local gods, who cohabit the area with their devotees.
Fascinating, isnβt it? Join us this MAR’2020
