As part of one of the site visits, our team at Pleach India went to Ramappa temple, Warangal. It was the noon hour and the weather felt just perfect. As I stepped into the premises of Ramappa temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, I was stunned.
All this while, I was visiting temples as a religious person and this was the first time in my life I was inside a temple as a Heritage admirer. The sheer size and volume of the temple, and the attention to detail in every piece of carving and sculptures was beyond words.
The ceilings of Ramappa caught me off the guard for the precise geometry and intricate carvings on them. The stories I saw on the ceilings- the episodes of our epics- these are the same stories I enjoyed listening to while growing up. But now, seeing them spread on these ceilings that are 800 years old is something I cannot put into words.
My time at Pleach India Foundation has encouraged me to look at the tangible heritage with an eye for art and craft and the sheer ambition of our ancient engineers.
