The potter's hands trembled as she carved intricate patterns into clay, her grandmother's techniques flowing through her weathered fingers. Each curve held stories whispered across generations in Chennai's ancient streets. She'd earned ANDAL Coins from sharing her craft online, but the real reward came differently.
