Research into mythological texts enabled VK-NARDEP identify the lost and damaged traditional water-bodies – Teerthams. The survey maps and interaction with the locals helped in restoring and renovating 20 Teerthams without damaging environmental/societal norms or antiquity. After bringing them back to their original glory, Teerthams will be handed over to “Teertha mitras”, a community group, for maintenance. At present the work of Kapi Teertham is going on with the support of BrahMos Aerospace, New Delhi.
