We were truly honoured to host Ayya Vaira Bharathi, great-grandson of the legendary Mahakavi Subramania Bharathiyaar, at the Penang Indian Heritage Museum today.

His visit brought a heartfelt warmth to our museum, and we were deeply touched by his appreciation for the heritage we safeguard. In a beautiful and spontaneous moment, Ayya Vaira Bharathi even composed a poem specially for our museum — a gift we will always cherish.

As the descendant of one of India’s most iconic literary figures, his presence was a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and honouring our cultural narratives. We are grateful for his kind words, his passion, and his recognition of the Indian community’s heritage in Penang.

Thank you, Ayya Vaira Bharathi, for gracing us with your presence and celebrating our shared history.
