The tapestries depict Mohiniyattam & Bharatha-Natyam dance & choreography on one side; paintings of pompous processions of maharajahs carried on palanquins along the sprawling promenades and the splendour of the palace courtyard in juxtaposition with the struggles of the poor subjects, parades of folk festivals on the opposite sidewall.

"""The description of the musical ending by Elise is so brilliant, awesome writing!"" Michael Vincent, Dadar, ""The main purpose is well served. It was a sensational concert, one of a kind. My family thoroughly enjoyed it. We sang together and loud, for the first time as a family; maybe we got inspired by the family musicians. We want to do it more often too; look us up on Youtube soon coming!"" Damodaran Potti, ""I was actually fascinated by the transformation of comedian Mathappan from Sorcerer to Angeles. It's so hilarious!"" Vinny Atkinson, Oshkosh, WI ""Starting each chapter, I got lost thinking that it is not at all relevant to the theme, but towards the end, it blends in with the story in brilliant pertinence and significance. Unique and splendid style, I must say! It's educational, and motivational as well; most part reads like a bewitching novel. I don't hesitate at all to award a rare 5*****!"" G. Krishnan Nair, Literary critic ""You know, most novels have one plot. This has an interesting one in every chapter. All contribute to the main story. Just super interesting when it comes to the final pages! Ian Bancroft, Glasgow. 'It was exciting when the brass ensemble checked in with the family players. They played well.
