INDI-SKETCH

A Story-Filled Retreat · Reimagining India's Stories

More than a camp — a story-filled retreat. Why do we always imagine Ravana's ten heads side by side? What did Krishna really look like? Every great character was imagined long before it was drawn, and every story has more than one way to be seen. Three days to imagine, sketch, and share your own version, together as a family.

Registrations Open 📅 September 4–6, 2026 📍 Iyal Farm, Sethumadai, Pollachi 3 Days · Ages 0–99

"Draw from stories. Not from screens."
