The exhibition will highlight coconut grater and of its various shape and artistic value especially on the carving of the grater. The variety of shape and carving style are not only expressing the beauty of the art but as a testimony of creativity and technological advance of the community producing it. Symbolically, coconut grater holds a special place in any households, as this tool became a means of love between mother and child. Children used to wait for opportunities to sit behind their mothers while the mothers were busy grating the coconut. There is also a riddle in this that literally says “up on a horse, spread flowers”
