KALIMAN KATHAI (The Clay Story) | Documentary film | Anooja G | Pottery making

Nestled near Nagercoil, the village of Chunkankadai keeps the art of pottery alive. In 1975, Father James Tombeur laid the foundation for the Potters' Co-operative Society, safeguarding a tradition that refuses to fade. Today, 35 families shape not just clay, but stories—rooted in heritage, yet reaching for brighter tomorrows. In every pot lies a prayer, a legacy, and the spirit of a people who continue to turn earth into an art that will keep telling their stories for generations to come.
