Description
Are you curious to understand more about life in the villages around Auroville?
- How village is structured?
- What are the festivals and ceremonies that are celebrated?
- How is the family organized?
- What is unique about Tamil culture?
Youth from Edayanchavadi village connected to the Thamarai Learning and Cultural centre, have created an engaging and interactive one-day programme that will give a deeper look into all aspects of village life. This activity is part of Thamarai’s overall programme to strengthen bridges of understanding and relationships between Edayanchavadi and Auroville.
Throughout the morning, a presentation and discussion will address the above topics. Participants will take a guided walk through the village to have a look at the main temple, houses and the “Kolam” or village tank. A traditional healthy South Indian meal prepared by the women from the village will be served for lunch and afterwards a cultural programme and a trip to Irumbai Temple – a local temple of great significance.
