Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was on a two-day visit to Tamil Nadu, commended the efforts of Mani Maran, the Tamil Pundit of the Saraswathi Mahal Library, to preserve ancient manuscripts. The Saraswathi Mahal Library has published 20 books written by him. He is also conducting research on a Monograph of the Sendalai Temple.
In his message through Mann Ki Baat on All India Radio (AIR), Mr Modi said while the foundation of Bharat’s culture lies in our festivals and traditions, another vibrant aspect of culture was the continued documentation of the present and history.
