Pillala Chetullo Pennidhi

It is for the children to know, to cherish and protect the remnants of what they have inherited.

Heritage buildings are a testimonial to yesterday. They stand as witness to life that thrived amongst them. They are reflections of man's evolving intelligence and the pinnacle of his prowess. They are a bridge between yesterday and today and pointers to what could be our tomorrow. Inspired by UNESCO's World Heritage in Young Hands, Turaga Foundation brought out this book on heritage in a CD format and also released the print version. The book is meant for the young to know what is their legacy even as they become citizens of tomorrow, why they should cherish it and how it should be protected.
