Anthiyur

Festival, Livestock and Life around Gurunathaswamy Temple

Anthiyur comes alive each year during the Gurunathaswamy Temple festival, drawing people and livestock from across Tamil Nadu and beyond. Cattle, horses and goats gather alongside traders, farmers, families and devotees, while temporary markets, food stalls and amusements transform the town into a vibrant rural fair. This ongoing documentary project explores the people, animals, rituals, commerce and everyday moments that unfold around the festival.
