Palmleaf Manuscripts: Care and Conservation
To study and train in the conservation of paper and palmleaf manuscripts at the V&A & other UK museums
Study of South Indian sculpture in UK museum collections.
I visited many museums in the UK during my stay there, and both documented South Indian sculptures and bronzes and display methods. I subsequently developed display methods for the Government Museums at Vellore and Cuddalore. Since then I have received a fellowship awarded by the Institute for Social Science and Research at Vellore. I delivered about 100 lectures in the period between 1994 and 2001 to college and school students, Rotary and other clubs, and groups of visitors to the Vellore museum.
