Tribute to the Great Poet Subramanya Bharati on his Death anniversary

Following the identification of Tiruvallikeni MRTS Railway Station for highlighting the presence of Bharathiar in the freedom movement as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav recently, Sevalaya, an NGO, has come forward to paint the walls of Kadayam Rly Station to highlight the significance of Chellammal, who as the spouse of The National Poet, was instrumental in bringing his works to light, especially after his demise.

The inaugural function of the project to portray historic significance of Kadayam in Bharathi’s life, through paintings in the walls of the Kizhakadayam Railway station was held on 11th September 2022.

Kadayam is the birthplace of Chellamma, the poet’s wife. It was in this station, Bharathi landed with his wife and child after being released from Cuddalore Jail, when he returned to British India from Puducherry. Having no place to go, Bharathi accepted his brother in law’s offer to provide shelter to the family in his house.

Bharathi spent two years in Kadayam. A man far ahead of his times, he faced the wrath of the then traditional society, and was even excommunicated. It was in this town many of his immortal poems were composed.

To perpetuate the memory of this great poet and his life in this town, Sevalaya is collaborating with the Indian Railways to beautify the Kilakadayam railway station with paintings depicting the life of Bharathi and Chellamma.

Around 1,500 Sq feet of wall space will be visually treated by artist Mari Anand.
