I found these photographs at my Grandma's house at Madurai.
My Grandmother at left side before her wedding !!
A Wedding Greeting given to my Grandfather !!
Click on the wedding greeting to enlarge and read !! . It dates back to 1925. Phrases related to The Indian Independence struggle like "Vande Matharam ","Jawaharlal Nehru ku Jay " "Mahatma Gandhiku Jay" and "Bharatha deviyin pathame thunai" can be seen.

Hi All,

Wow precious pix Prabhu preserve them properly. The second pix can u scan it, my tamil reading skills are very poor this is making it even more difficult.
What a find. I am sure you will treasure them Adengappa.
Nostalgia? :-)
Nothing special lined up Prabhu. Thanks for the comment on my site :-)
That was absolutely great dude. I exactly have a similar copy of greeting given to my grandpa, amazingly even that has got the words Vandemataram on it. Though I would love to see that in as good condition, what you have. btw what place is your grandfather from. Mine grandpa was from virudhunagar near madurai.
I'm becoming Nostalgic !
Let me scan my copies of old photos the next time I go home.
