My Entries for the Challenge are here for your reference
Entry1: Kodaikanal’s Creative Cleanliness: Bison Bins 
Guess what caught my eye in the beautiful Kodaikanal Hills?
It wasn’t just the misty mountains or the serene lakes, but something unexpectedly delightful – artistic bison-shaped bins! Yes, you read that right! These aren’t your average, boring trash cans. Someone had the brilliant idea to turn something mundane into a mini work of art, shaping waste bins into adorable bison. It’s such a clever way to encourage everyone, especially us tourists, to be more responsible with our trash. I noticed them at a few different spots, and honestly, they really do make you want to use them! It’s amazing how a little creativity can make a big difference in keeping our beautiful natural spaces clean. Kudos to Kodaikanal for this initiative! 
Entry2: Madurai Sellur’s Kabaddi Roundabout: A Cultural Gem! 
a Madurai Sellur’s Roundabout that’s not just for traffic, but also a beautiful tribute to our local culture! 
Instead of just a generic fountain or statue, this one features an incredible, symbolic sculpture of boys playing Kabaddi. It’s such a vibrant and dynamic piece, perfectly capturing the energy and spirit of this traditional Indian sport. Seeing it really made me smile and feel a deeper connection to the city’s roots. It’s not just art; it’s a celebration of community and heritage, right in the middle of our daily commute! Kudos to the city for such a thoughtful beautification! Wheelchair Accessible 
Entry3: Corporation’s Canvas 
Madurai’s Story in Abstract!
I recently walked past the Corporation building in Madurai and was absolutely mesmerized by the newly painted wall!
It’s not just a coat of paint; it’s a vibrant, abstract masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of our city. The mural weaves together symbols of Madurai’s rich culture, its famous attractions, and the energetic sports scene. I could spot hints of our temples, perhaps a jallikattu bull, and maybe even a nod to the local art forms. It’s such an incredible way to showcase Madurai’s identity and add a splash of color and creativity to a public building. It truly brightens up the area and tells a story without saying a word! What a fantastic initiative to bring art to our streets!
