Brilliant

Published on Nov, 2024

We really enjoyed class. It was really brilliant. I can thoroughly recommend it wholeheartedly. It was nice to not only learn the techniques but also to understand the background to the art. The lady giving the training knew her art very well and was skilled at passing her knowledge on.

Superb experience

Superb teacher "Critica" she was very patient and took us through the history and the method. We were then taken through the process of how and given practical tuition in the four types of Kolam.. I would highly recommend this to anyone..

Fantastic

We booked the Kolam class and a Sound and healing session. Both were well run with very knowledgeable instructors who put everyone at ease. We are on holiday from the UK and the Sita cultural centre has helped us learn more about the local culture and community. Well done for the great selection of classes provided

Kolam class - a spiritual oasis in Puducherry

Published on Jan, 2024

This was a real treat. Saranya was a patient and charming hostess and teacher. She gave us a delightful glimpse into daily family life and the spiritual place of Kolam in Tamil Nadu life. We were also kindly allowed to transfer our rained-off bicycle tour. Generous. Thank you. Highly recommended.
