Today the Kannada conference starts in Detroit. I won't be attending even though I am in Detroit today -- on way to Mackinac Island.
But if you are attending, be sure to check out the exhibition of portraits of famous Kannada writers hand-printed by my father [more info].
If you are not able to attend, you can see some of these rare portraits online.
To mark this occasion, I have dug out some very historic photographs of V. Seetaramaiah, Shivaram Karanth, and T. N. Sreekantaiya taken my father at the 1954 Kannada Conference held in Kumta.
Tomorrow is the birthday of Lord Krishna. Known as Gokulashtami, it is an important festival among Vaishnavaites, the followers of Vishnu. See some of the pictures of the festival celebrations from last year.
