8:00 - Vores guide vil møde og hente dig fra dit hotel til denne Bangalore kulturtur. Vi tager til Ramnagara, en lille by beliggende 50 km fra Bangalore. Ramnagar er berømt for sin silkeindustri og modtager 50 tons silkekokoner hver dag, hvilket gør det til Asiens største silkekokonmarked. Efter morgenmaden besøger vi Government Silk Cocoon Market og overværer en auktion.
Vi besøger den berømte legetøjsby Channapatna, hjemsted for de legendariske producenter af trælegetøj. De dygtige håndværkere i denne by følger en unik proces, der er perfektioneret af generationer over tid for at gøre dette miljøvenlige og børnesikkert legetøj. De begynder med at skaffe elfenbenstræ, krydre, skære beskæring, udskæring og til sidst anvende vegetabilsk farvestof til farvning. Vi besøger en fabrik, hvor gæsterne kan se disse håndværksmestre i aktion. Gæster kommer til at interagere med håndværkerne og få en førstehåndsoplevelse af deres handel og levevis.
Næste i vores Bangalore-kulturrejseplan er et besøg i et center til fremme af landsbyens folkekunst i staten Karnataka. Gæster kan se mere end 5000 folkelige artefakter, der skildrer folkelitteratur, musik, dans, festivaler, skulptur og livsstil i de forskellige dele af dette center spredt over 15 acres. Nogle af de utrolige artefakter omfatter 500 år gamle skyggedukker, Doddamane, en kopi af et stort traditionelt landsbyhus, malerier fra stammehjem, en skulpturgård, som har udstillinger fra 800 e.Kr. og levende demonstration af håndværk som keramik.
Udforsk de tidløse håndværk som • Tholu Bommalata skygge dukker fra Andhra Pradesh • Dhokra metalstøbning fra skovene i Jharkhand • Gond kunst fra tribal hjerter af Madhya Pradesh • Naga træskæring og tekstiler fra det nordøstlige Indien • Sammen med stenskulpturer, antikke restaureringer og tekstilkollektiver • Engagere med arbejdstagerne, forstå deres proces med materiale sourcing, og lære, hvordan traditionelle teknikker er tilpasset til moderne design.

The folk art tour was excellent. 5 senses tours arranged for a hotel pick up in a nice car. Our guide was lovely and took us to meet wooden toy makers , a silk cocoon auction market, and a centre for tribal art and craft. It was a memorable day out learning about the folk culture of this region of India.
I am glad you enjoyed the Folk art. Thanks for taking the time to review this tour. It was our pleasure hosting you.
I had an amazing day in the folks arts tour. We visited a silk cocoon auction market, a handmade wooden toy factory, a folks museum and then we saw a centre for folks artifacts. What an incredible day. It's really a unique opportunity to see the art and craft of this area. Our guide was amazing and the company had arranged pick and drop from my hotel. Very highly recommended to get out of the city and get a glimpse of India.

This tour requires some driving time. The highlight for me was the silk pod market. It is a fascinating place and learning how the pods are sold was very interesting. From there we visited a toy factory. That was somewhat interesting and may have been made better if more in the history or significance of the place was shared. The toy store we stopped at had a lot of variety. We also went to a recreation of historic times and villages where artifacts and relics were housed. This was okay and was made a little confounding by having a grounds person, perhaps docent follow us through. He was speaking over the guide and was hard to understand. The place was still under some construction but it was not obtrusive. There was some signage in English that provided historical perspective and that could have been enhanced. Our lunch stop was excellent. We ate with our hand off a banana leaf in traditional fashion. Final stop was the 400+ year old banyan tree. Some historical background on the tree would have been more interesting than pointing out the obvious way in which the tree grows and expands. More about the tree origins in India would have been of interest. My guide Vignesh spoke excellent English, communicated well regarding pickup details and was very accommodating. I am not sure I would call this a folk art tour, but some of the sites were of interest to me.
The guide and driver CHANDRASHEKAR and Mohan were excellent. They were punctual, friendly and full of information. They also were very attentive to my needs. The places we visited were interesting and informative.
It was a great adventure! The cocoon auction was striking. I would have loved to see where the cocoons are grown, if possible.
Don't go on a Sunday. It shows as an available day but the places of interest advertised are closed.
I really enjoyed my day out with Harish my guide, and Manju the driver. The day was longer than planned allowing time to enjoy the sites and not rush. The toy factory was my favourite part and the factory owner was such an interesting man! The Banyan tree was also fascinating, and a lovely peaceful place. I’d like to have heard more about its life cycle and history though
Narayanan from Five Senses Tours was very helpful in switching the dates of two tours, one of which was this tour, because the toy factory is closed on Sundays. (That should be in the tour description.)It took two hours to drive from my hotel to where we picked up the guide, due to traffic. Not the fault of the tour company or the tour guide or the driver - traffic in Bengaluru is ridiculous.Satish, my guide, could not have been more helpful. He stopped at a roadside stand to give me the chance to taste tender coconut (before the outer shell hardens; you drink the liquid inside). He chose very interesting foods for lunch. I appreciated his help.The silk cocoon auction house was very interesting. It is the second largest in Asia. I saw more cocoons there than I ever imagined.The toy factory was disappointing. It was small. The electric power was out, so I could not see anything being made. The workers pressured me to buy their toys.The crafts museum was better, but the docent (museum's guide, not Satish) had such a thick accent that I had difficulty understanding him.
