Ms. Sumithra Veeraraghavan

Ms. Sumithra Veeraraghavan is a graduate in MA Sanskrit and PG Diploma in Manuscriptology and Paleography holder. Having done B.Tech in IT and working for IT companies, her interest went into the direction of reviving ancient manuscripts. Presently she is working with EFEO Germany/Pondicherry as a Scriber. She trains young children in the field of Manuscriptology to enable the next generation’s active contributions to this field.

Her interest in Bharatanṛtyam(nāṭyam), Carnatic Music, Jyotiṣa śāstra, Vāstu Śāstra and other śāstras fueled her even more in the subject of manuscripts too, as the mūla graṅthas are obtained from the ancient past. This motivates her even more in the process of reviving the untouched manuscripts which are in millions.
