Librarian Mr.Chandramohan was very kind and explained to me in detail about the library even before I introduce myself as a journalist.
I found some youngsters visiting the library to read on traditional medicines, astrology,siddhar padalgal.
One of the founders of this library Colonel McKenzie protected a Tiruvasagam manuscript which is in a form of Siva lingam.
Many of the manuscripts are waiting to be read and published as books.
My friend Praveen Annamalai shot video form of the story with love. We spent three days asking every detail of the library.
