After an year or so in the pandemic, this will be first flight for us. I will be visiting Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City that has a fabulous collection of South and South East Asian Art.

Her first sculptures first appear in Cambodia, South East Asia. BTW, the Indian use of Zero in decimal point Arithmetic first appears in Cambodia in Grantha script as well. Once I wrote to Dr. Dorothy Fickle that this beautiful Chola era bronze is not Kali, but Karaikkal Ammai (when I was a grad student.). Dorothy wrote a long article in the Museum bulletin, and sent me a preprint. Mirielle Benisti of France is the Indian Art history and Tamil scholar who wrote an earlier article about representations of Karaikkal Ammai from Cambodia temples (II World Tamil Conference, Chennai, 1968).
