Madurai Folk artiste groups from across the district thronged the Collectorate on Tuesday morning, asking the government to restart temple functions and provide them with some form of financial relief assistance as the COVID-19 pandemic had terribly affected their livelihoods. Folk artistes, who perform arts like karagattam, nayyandi melam, poikkal kuthirai attam, villu pattu and raja rani attam, were among those who came from different places like Usilampatti, Sholavandhan, Elumalai and Thirumangalam.More Related News
