"I've been studying silambam for 14 years and I have a great deal of respect and affection for it. Thus, after 14 years of effort, I successfully completed my 14-hour class and used every hour to remind me of my silambam days. “Each hour of the challenge taught me about patience and the willpower to succeed. I am thrilled that I managed to complete the feat and include silambam in the Malaysia Book of Records," said the national silambam referee.
"Silambam is an important component of Indian religion and culture. I like this martial art due to its novelty. Girls should try out this art form as it can help us relieve tension, increase our concentration, and teach us to move confidently without fear," explained Kaviarasi, whose two siblings, S. Rahmeswary and S. Jivarassan, are also national silambam athletes.
