22nd Classical Tamil Winter Seminar in Pondy, February 2024
12‒23 February 2024 at the centre of the EFEO in Pondy
The next CTWS will take place next February for two weeks (12‒23) at the centre of the EFEO in Pondicherry. For the first week, we will read chapter VI from the Maṇimēkalai, the Cakkaravāḷakkōṭṭuraitta kātai, the famous description of the burial grounds and corresponding customs followed on the outskirts of Pukār. The second week will be dedicated to various Śaiva devotional songs from the 11th Tirumuṟai. The format will be the usual one, that is, a double morning session with exposition of the text and repetition by the students, and a couple of parallel readings sessions in the afternoon. Participants with at least basic knowledge of the classical language will be welcome. For more info, contact Eva Wilden (wilden.eva@gmail.com).
