The documentary is dedicated to the parents of Dr Suresh Rao, is an effort to keep alive the culture of Brahmins and be an example to future Brahmin population.

India is a semi island and the birth of Brahmins is said to be prestigious in the land.  Brahmins have their own culture, routine and tradition.

Acharya Madhwa who was born in the 14th century at Kunjarugiri near Udupi proclaimed his teachings to the world and hoisted the flag of Dwaitya religion giving iportance to certain religious principles and guiding those regarding daily routines.

The religious rites of Brahmins have gained significance after the arrival of the era of Sri Madhwacharya and Sri Vadirajaguru.  The Brahmins will be an example to the society in any religious adversity.

The documentary ‘Taulawa Nityanushtanam’ is an enthusiastic venture of Dr Suresh Rao.  The religious customs such as Trikala Sandyavandane, Devapooja custom and other rites are prepared by cooperation of Harinarayan Asranna Pernankila Haridasa Bhat, well recorded with the incantation of Raghavendra Aithal, Bangalore’s Sanskrit professor and review by Dr H Satyanarayana Achar, principal of Poornaprajna College.  

The film is shot at Srirangapatna, Kollegal, Kaveri river side and Poornaprajna institute.  Rajesh Haleangady, Ramanna, Padmanabha Sasihitlu (Kalasaurabha) and Krishnaraj Shetty (Kalajagathu) have provided technical support.
