We documented the making of the Saraswati Veena in Thanjavur. We travelled to Thanjavur, a town 350 km south of Chennai, and stayed with the traditional cottage industry craftsmen for 8 days. Our deliverable was a detailed book on the making of the veena, its social influence and design thinking in improving and increasing sustainability of the endangered industry.
The following are a few spreads from our book, describing the context of the craft.
