“All these photographs were taken by photographers of Thanjavur. Even though there are no wild animals like lions, tigers, or leopards in Thanjavur district, there are many small animals that escape our notice. These animals and birds have been photographed and displayed in this exhibition. Children and adults can enjoy this exhibition as photographs of rare animals and birds are on display.”
