Those of you who follow this blog will know that the above Walk has been done at least once every year since the time I first planned it for the Trichy-based women’s group Aura. Since then I have done it for several others. Yesterday, July 29, 2018, it was for the Trichy chapter of the Confederation of Indian Industry. The man who spearheaded this walk was my friend BV Ramanan, whose wife Mythili was interestingly the person who got me to do the first Heritage tour of Trichy for Aura!
I am publishing some of the photos taken by the group during the tour.
