The “Ormayil Ragini” program, an audio-visual exhibition that celebrates the life and times of Ragini, from the legendary Travancore Sisters is holding its 2013 edition at Ernakulam. To be held on 14 -14th September 2013, as a two-day program, it also combines an awareness initiative on Breast Cancer that brutally cut short Ragini’s life, with talks on the causes and care of the medical condition.
When : 14 – 15th September, 2013 from 10 am to 6 pm
Where : Achyutha Menon Mall ( Next to Ernakulam Public Library )
Entry : Free.
Organised by Manu J Krishnan, an ardent Ragini fan and a social activist, this commendable annual event to create awareness about breast cancer, which had claimed Ragini and Lalitha, combining it with a celebration of the life and times of the great actor, helps in keeping the sepia toned memories fresh and relevant, and wedded to a worthy cause.
Getting there.
If you are in Ernakulam for the weekend, this would be a great way to catch up on the life and times of Ragini, and the Travancore Sisters.
