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.

If you want an authentic, nuanced taste of India with a twist of historical significance. Then take a walk with one of the locals and hear their stories

Arri Ferrari, Austin

What an honour, and pleasure, to be guests in a Bharathanatyam dancer’s house. And see the artist dancing in front of us. And listen to an excellent story teller describing the sacred origin of the dance, the infinite nuances of the performer’s gestures, with their evident or hidden significances. I’ll keep in my memory the beauty of that experience.

Christina P

The trail provided a sneak peek into the importance of gold in Indian culture. A must do! We can’t wait to do the other StoryTrails!

Said MCG

An interesting way to see a city. It was more fun than your usual guided tour. Our guide was a good story teller, friendly and well informed.

Brigitte Konradt

This was one of the best travel experiences in recent memory. We spent a morning in the kitchen learning to make several different local dishes.
