We bring ‘more’ to the table, more to your advantage
HERITAGE WALK IN OLD DELHI
After breakfast, proceed to Old Delhi. Here you are met by a Dilliwalla, an expert on Old Delhi, who will take you for a heritage walk through the enchanting gallis (narrow by-lanes), recounting tales and anecdotes of the days when this was the bustling hub of the Mughal dynasty. The walk takes you to the age old Silver market, through quaint streets selling incredible ware, to the tranquility of a Jain temple and to the flower market which is a riot of colour. Visit the Jama Masjid – the largest mosque in Asia and then Drive past the magnificent Red Fort, – a marvel in red sandstone, built on the banks of River Yamuna by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan.
VISIT A TRADITIONAL INDIAN DANCE SCHOOL
World renowned dancing duo – Raja & Radha Reddy – who perform the traditional Indian dance of Kuchipudi have a dance shool ‘Natyatarangini’. They have been performing for 29 years and now impart training to students who are keen to learn this performing art. A visit to the school can be organized where you can watch students being taught the various intricacies of this simple and elegant dance form.
A VISIT TO FLOWER MARKET
This is an early morning visit – starting at 0515hrs in the morning when you are driven to one of the two wholesale flower markets in Delhi. Watch as local and international flowers are traded and watch how garlands for temples, traditional ceremonies and weddings are woven – in fact this is a great opportunity to try your hand at it. This place is also a photo stop so have your cameras loaded and at the ready!
TURBAN AND SAREE TYING
We organize a Turban tying demonstration for gentlemen. The demonstration is accompanied by an explanation on the Rajasthani turban. There are different variations of the turban, depending on the religion and region. In fact, in Rajasthan, it is said that the turban style changes with every 10 miles you travel. Rajput turbans are different from Sikh turbans, which are in turn different from the classical Arab turbans. Then, there are the royal turbans from different parts of India, and the rural turban which is often just a towel wound round the head.
Similarly for ladies a sari tying demonstration is organized, where they can learn how to tie a sari accompanied by a talk on the different types of saris and how they are worn in different part of the country. The sari is a single piece of fabric measuring about 06 yards (5.5 m). It has for ages been the traditional dress of Indian woman. The sari compliments the physique of every woman and is known as one of the world’s most erotic garments.
