What is time? This is not a question that can be easily answered even today. Yet, many ancient cultures came up with their own ways of measuring time by turning to the celestial bodies they could see in the sky. How the modern world has reconciled these various timekeeping ways makes for a rather interesting story – and affects our daily lives even today. 

Why do different communities in India celebrate New Year on a different day every year? Why do some festival dates change annually while some remain the same? What is the concept of ‘tithi’? How is the Hindu calendar different from the other calendars? 

Join Storytrails on a one-of-a-kind online session, where we demystify the science behind the Hindu calendar as we tell the story of time.

I really liked the simple way they explained the various artefacts that we wouldn’t have understood without a good guide.

Potters Village – a must, must do in Madurai. The stories we were told were enchanting and delivered with the kind of warmth that makes you feel safe inside – took me back to being a kid.

What a way to explore the little French Riviera! I am not new either to walking tours or to Pondicherry and yet I was surprised by both. I had taken the Moscow Free Tour when I was in Russia last year. For a long time, I considered it one of the best tours I’ve done. But French Connections has blown me away with it’s the attention to detail and depth of research. The stories of generals and generals, wine and women came alive and took us back in time.

Beautiful landscapes, visit of a very interesting temple in a small village, and then we went to a farm, where we have been warmly welcomed.

Had a delightful stroll through the alleys of Mylapore.The research that went into it is reflected in the stories they tell. I would highly recommend this trail.

Loved this! Forget picking up a guide book, you won’t find any of the ‘true’ history of Trivandrum in there! A must to any visitor to (and inhabitant of!) Trivandrum
