Coastal regions are a melting pot of art and culture, as attributable to trade-driven voyages from distant lands.
The multitude of cultural influences have given rise to exquisite works of art and literature, analogous to the confluence of rivers in an ocean.

The Tamil classic, Silappathikaram, describes Poompuhar as a glorious city located along the seashore that flourished on account of trade. The Kaanal Vari Paadalgal in the epic bear testimony to the cultural richness of that epoch. Singapore, also a coastal city akin to Poompuhar, is thriving as a global hub for commerce and the arts today.

Neythal - the continental shelf will offer a glimpse into the cultural ethos of these coastal lands. 'Natya Chudar' Lavanya Raghuraman, an outstanding disciple of the Dhananjayans, will portray the beauty of the continental shelf through the genre of Bharatanatyam.
