The Golden Triangle is home to India’s crown jewels—a stunning collection of UNESCO-listed architectural masterpieces stretching from Delhi to Jaipur and Agra.
Most of the course will take place at the heart of the Golden Triangle, within the 15th-century Ram Bihari Palace, nestled in the Aravalli mountain range and overlooking the serene Siliserh Lake. Here, we will create intricate ornamental patterns and paint alongside tanka artist Tiffani Gyatso.
