Puttaparthi
We begin in an ashram, where daily practices and human values bring the traveller into contact with a worldview that is rare to the Western eye.
Fort Kochi
We continued our journey to encounters with traditions and spaces of cultural transmission, and then arrived in Kerala, at Fort Kochi, where coastal India reveals its history of exchanges and coexistence between cultures, amidst rivers, coconut trees, and a more tranquil pace of life.

Varanasi
From there, we'll go to Varanasi, the ritual heart of Hinduism, to experience firsthand the Ganges, the gats, and the spiritual life that shapes the city.
Bhubaneswar
And finally we arrived in Odisha, the climax of the journey: a region where temple, community and art are exceptionally integrated – where ancient and modern coexist and artistic heritage is revealed in daily life, in architecture and in the hands that preserve tradition.
