Abstract: Abstract The purchase of Srinivasa Ramanujan’s home in Kumbakonam by SASTRA University on 2003 is a major step in the preservation of Ramanujan’s legacy for posterity. To mark that occasion, SASTRA University organized an international conference. The author’s visit to Kumbakonam for this conference began a series of annual visits. This article describes the cultural and mathematical legacy of Kumbakonam and provides an insight into the cultural setting in which Ramanujan grew up and made his most awe inspiring discoveries.
