The Potters' Trail of Madurai

The Potters' Trail of Madurai

Visit a Potter’s village in Madurai and unearth some legends and mystifying stories from the potters who breathe life into mud structures.

At first, God created man in his image, and now, men create Gods in their mould. Join us on a visit to a Potter's village, and watch mud go from the mundane to the sublime. See how a whole village has hit pay dirt and listen to stories of creators – both mortal and immortal.

Get regaled with stories of people, priests, Gods and sundry powers that be. Why are earthen horses offered to Gods here? Do men become Gods sometimes? And do Gods act like common people on and off?

The stories connected to this place run the gamut of mythology, fantasy, history and tradition, and each one adds a new facet to one's notion of Madurai.
