  • I was impressed that they work barefoot with all that molten metal around

  • My greatest respect for the Doctor and the casting crew. I especially love her explanation of the dance. Simply Amazing!

  • Fantastic to watch the craftsmen at work, excellent video

  • I think this same family of idol makers is featured in William Dalrymple's Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India.

  • Nice video on traditional art and craft,

    Love to see it.....

  • This video is steeped in culture, tradition, age old techniques, art, dance, mysticism of Lord Shiva and the passion of its narrator Dr. Sharada Srinivasan, a scientist in archaeo-metallurgy and a classical dancer of repute. This shows the dedication to science with reverence to the art and tradition.
