Badminton icon PV Sindhu in Kerala\'s centuries-old ritual art

Deccan Chronicle  

Thiruvananthapuram: Indian badminton icon and world champion PV Sindhu will be part of a centuries-old folk ritual art form in a sleepy village of Kerala later this week, but not through her physical presence. A ceremonial 'kolam' of Sindhu, holding badminton racket, will be made and put on display on September 27 at the finale of the famed 'Neelamperoor Padayani,' a 16-day-long annual ritual art to be held at Palli Bhagavathy temple in the state. The six-feet-high effigy of Sindhu will be made completely using natural ingredients like stem of arecanut tree, stem sheath of banana plantain, bamboo and lotus leaves and colour extracts of 'ixora' flower. PV Sindhu had scripted history as she became the first Indian to win badminton World Championships gold by beating arch-rival Nozomi Okuhara of Japan last month.
