That sets, for example, Bhattathiripad’s recollections back a decent three decades prior when he was seriously learning the low down of portraying and painting from a privately known educator at a rough town around the cusp of Palakkad and Thrissur locale. In 1987, soon after his registration, the kid from beach front Punnayurkulam (northwest of the sanctuary town of Guruvayur) went to the socially strong Peringode to contemplate workmanship from Ganapathy Master.

However, there is no much change in the outward appearance of the general population around. They appear to be cheerful.”
