Mada Kuzhi, is an artistic expression in ancestrol homes. This hole in the wall was multi purpose, used to light a lamp in the evenings / to keep “kolam podi” the rice powder used to draw kolams outside the homes and many left to the imagination of the ladies at these homes.
Now it seems a museum piece and not seen in modern homes.

Happy belated birthday – in more ways than one! Found that you’ve disabled your wall on Facebook and wasn’t able to get on to this y’day!!
Many congratulations!!
