Krishnakumar T K

Born a Gujarati and brought up in the Tamil Nadu state of India, Krishnakumar T.K. alias KK says he fits nowhere. He is a man in search of an identity, who looks for it everywhere.

KK is not a scholar, not a mythologist, not a historian, not an archaeologist or not an architect. Nevertheless, out of his own interest, he explores all these subjects and keeps sharing his learning in the form of books and blogs.

He has traveled to thousands of places and has written more than 1,300 travel articles in his blog IndianColumbus. His blog is so popular that it has got more than 17,50,000 visits so far.

He has written a series of books on Valmiki Ramayana. His ambition is to write about the Puranas and the Epics in simple, easy-to-understand language so that it reaches and benefits the broader audience.

He has also written a few Travel Guides and also Temple Guides. His books on temples cover every aspect, such as architecture, sculpture, layout, legend and history, in detail.

He has also written short stories in Tamil and published the collection of his stories as a book.

Being an ardent fan of Shri Cho Ramaswamy, he has a separate blog about Cho’s films and plays. You can visit that blog by clicking this link.

He rarely gives lectures and rarely conducts heritage walks to his close circle of friends.

He is currently in the process of writing a detailed book about the George Town area in Chennai.
