Summary:
"Many people visit Mamallapuram as a tourist spot, but only a few realise its importance. The Docent training program for Mamallapuram is an attempt to make a positive contribution in this regard," said Swaminathan. Unfortunately, like many heritage sites, Mamallapuram also lacks professional guides who can assist you on a detailed heritage tour. The training included three days on-site classes at Mamallapuram, held over two weekends with overnight stay. The objective of the programme is to provide rigorous training to volunteers who can then engage with visitors to Mamallapuram to educate them using authentic information and insights..
