dated April 15, 1953: Temples as Nurseries of Arts

Welcoming Chief Minister Mr. Rajagopalachari to the Tanjore Fine Arts Exhibition and Festival, Mr. T. K. Palaniappan, Collector and President of the Art Gallery observed, "Chozha Desa has more temples than any other tract of land of comparable area in South India. It is part of the traditions of our great land that every branch of human activity centres on temples. Apart from being shrines of worship, temples have all along served as valuable nurseries of music, dance, sculpture, and painting. Assured of the basic necessities of living, artists of those days could devote all their time to serving the Goddess of Art.''
