Ahmedabad Heritage Walk 16.0 by TtDP
On this Ram Navami Special Edition, we treat the Old City as a living library where spirituality and Music by Our Folk Artist Jaydan Gadhvi meets Craftsmanship's Knowledge. As we chant the name of Ram, we will also learn to "read" the Kotarni (carvings) that surround us. Every flower and animal etched into the wood is a silent prayer waiting to be decoded.
Let’s turn our eyes into "decoders" and our hearts into "devotees" to see the Pols like never before.
