Overview

  • Begin your cultural journey in Chennai with a comfortable pickup and transfer to a welcoming indoor venue where you will explore the artistic and cultural traditions of South India through engaging hands on sessions.
  • Start with the art of kolam, learning to create intricate designs using rice flour or colored powders while understanding their cultural significance in daily life. Continue with a garland making session using fresh flowers, a traditional craft widely used in festivals, ceremonies, and temple offerings, allowing you to create your own fragrant keepsake.
  • Step into the past as you explore traditional board games like Pallanguzhi, learning the rules and strategies in a fun and interactive way. Experience Indian attire by trying how to drape a saree or wear a dhoti, gaining insight into traditional clothing styles.
  • You will also be introduced to mehendi art, where a skilled artist applies simple henna designs on your hands. Discover traditional music by learning about and trying the Udukkai, an hourglass shaped drum used in folk traditions.
  • The experience continues with a cooking session where you prepare crispy and flavorful vada, followed by learning the art of making authentic South Indian filter coffee. Enjoy your freshly prepared snack and drink as you relax and conclude your cultural experience.
