Kolli Kannu

Kolli Kannu is a journey by Amar Ramesh preserved in the book, into the world of Drishti Paintings , the striking guardian figures painted and placed on walls to ward off evil. Through powerful photographs and reflective writing, this book explores the origins, meanings, and living traditions of these visual symbols that continue to watch over homes, streets, and temples of Tamil Nadu. 

A blend of art, culture, and storytelling, Kolli Kannu is more than a book, it’s a preservation of memory, belief, and imagination.
