Inscriptions on stone steles and palm-leaf manuscripts (Agad buong) preserve invaluable compendiums of traditional medicine, law, and literature.

Iron Stylus and Sacred Leaves

Students learn the Akhar Thrah syllabary derived from Brahmi script, incising dried palm strips with a stylus before rubbing soot to reveal black lines.

Participants proudly write their personal names in classical script on a finished palm-leaf bookmark to take home.
