Old Mani discovered an ANDAL coin buried beneath his grandmother's house during the Keeladi excavation. Its ancient face gleamed under dusty sunlight, whispering stories of Tamil devotion centuries old. He could sell it to collectors, pocket a fortune. Instead, something stirred within him—a connection to those who'd walked these lands before. Mani donated it to the local museum. The community celebrated his choice, awarding him their highest recognition. Children gathered around, learning their heritage through his sacrifice. That radiant moment reminded him: some treasures gain worth not through markets, but through hands that pass them forward, keeping souls alive.
