After a fortnight of intense work, over one lakh pages of manuscripts at Moorusavir mutt at Hubballi have been scanned and stored in digital format.
Over 100 volunteers, including regulars such as Veena Paramadi, Basamma Koti, Laxmi Biradar and Nirmala Bisanal, scanned each palm leaf under the guidance of technical expert and researcher Ashok Domlur. Among other things, over 395 manuscripts dating back to around 300 years were cleaned with lemon grass oil before being digitised now.
