What happens when historical and fictional worlds collide? Sometimes, the result can be a glorious work of art that’s inspirational, insightful and entertaining all at once – like Kalki Krishnamurthy’s Ponniyin Selvan. How did Kalki make even his imaginary characters seem so believable? What marvellous objects and settings from the Chola period can we still see today? Which historical events inspired Kalki to spin his own saga? Join us for an engaging online session as we dive into the stories from south Indian history that formed the foundations of Ponniyin Selvan. 

This online workshop is Free for all Storytrails members.

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

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.

This was a first class tour! We have a British family history in Madras so getting to hear all the stories from the 1780s through independence was fascinating.

It was one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had in Chennai. I am here regularly. An incredibly coherent mix of information, impressions and loving stories.

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.
