The skill to shape these objects using clay is a testament to the skills of the maker.

What we understood was, this wonderful art forms transformed  the beauty of the Ayyanar figurines, their culture, traditions religious beliefs the insight of folk-aesthetic  qualities, beautiful expressions, tremendous skill with pottery making skils with their traditional tools….here ,. The  Ayyannar tradition of pottery carring us in the magical world of the ancient crafts ….we hope that the budding talents of Jawahar navodadaya vidyalaya students will  carry the seeds of this rich tradition to the future….

   



About  R .Meyyar ( Chief Guru)
R Meyyar, is an extra ordinary craft man who  keeps the origine of this pottery tradition … who has been in the profession for more than 25 years. It is a skill practiced by his father and grandfather, handed down in the family and Meyyar is a proud bearer of the heritage. Meyyar takes pride in this hereditary skill, a pride not common among descendants of craftsmen.
He adds, "only people from our community can do it. Outsiders will not be able to learn it. They can spend time on it, but they find it difficult to learn the intricacies. It is something inborn in us. It comes to us naturally." As he begins to expound, it becomes abundantly clear that, though the craft may seem easy to them, it is painstakingly done, using hard lab our as only the most basic of tools is used. Every operation is manual with absolutely no use of any mechanical or electrical tool. This craft is popular in the Pudukottai District of Tamil Nadu, Meyyar hails from Mazhaiyur in Pudukkottai district. His father Rengaswamy has learnt from his grandfather. How many years has this craft been with the family, no one knows. Some put the ancientness of the craft to more than 400 years old or more.
