Pondicherry:Hidesign announces it partnership with one of the
city’s most prestigious events, the Pondicherry Heritage Festival 2019. In its
5th edition, the festival will be held in Pondicherry
from 27th January to 11th February 2019.
Hidesign
an international brand that grew out of Pondicherry strongly values
naturalness, handcrafting and love for nature, just like the Pondicherry
envisioned by the festival. Hidesign has partnered from year one of the
festival and is proud to be associated with Pondicherry Heritage Festival 2019
with its emphasis on Pondicherry’s splendid natural heritage, including the
coast, rivers, water bodies, wetlands, and forests.
The
schedule will be brimming with events. Many of Pondicherry’s heritage buildings
will be opened to public for tours and host special events featuring
Pondicherry cuisine. The festival promises multiple events for children. There
will be numerous opportunities for creative participation, through dance,
poetry-writing, and photography competitions. The annual Pondicherry Heritage
Quiz for teams of students from schools throughout the city remains a festival
highlight.
The organizers have planned a special “Street Play” day, in which
young and old alike will be reminded of the important social function our
streets played before they were overwhelmed with vehicles. The festival will
conclude with one hundred school children coloring the Heritage Coloring Book,
launched at the 2018 festival.
Dilip
Kapur, President and Founder of Hidesign said, “Hidesign has always cherished
natural heritage and the culture of Pondicherry, and we are happy to contribute
to preserve and promote it. Whether it’s a civic issue or an issue with
heritage sites, every aspect of the city is given close attention and much
love. I have lived in the middle of a forest for several years; ecology is a
part of our lives. Day in and day out we need to take care of our town in the
best way we can.”
On
10th February, the festival will witness a unique musical evening with artist
Shivan’s performance on the culture and heritage of Pondicherry at The
Storytellers’ Bar in The Promenade hotel. The walls of The Storytellers’ Bar
are filled with beautiful stories of Pondicherry written by travelers and
local, and will be the perfect backdrop for Shivan to keep us entertained with
beautiful stories about Pondicherry strung to popular melodies.
