INDIA - Mandalas FROM THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
A artistic immersion
Immerse yourself in a journey of art, culture, and knowledge with artist Tiffani Gyatso and artist Adam Williamson from the Prince School in London, through the historic kingdoms and dreamlike landscapes of northern India, where art, architecture, and ancestral wisdom intertwine in every stone, pigment, and gesture.
This experience has been carefully designed for artists, dreamers, and cultural seekers who wish to learn directly from master artisans and experience India beyond conventional tourist routes.
We begin by exploring the Golden Triangle, one of the country’s most iconic cultural routes. In Agra, we will visit the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, where we will conduct on-site observation and drawing studies, focusing on the symmetries, calligraphy, and floral ornaments that make these structures universal symbols of beauty and visual harmony.
What We Will Experience:
-
Hands-on traditional art classes, including Mughal miniature painting
-
On-site drawing of geometric and biomorphic ornamental patterns inspired by Islamic, Hindu, and Rajput architecture
-
The wisdom of Yantras
-
Rangoli ceremonies
Through the World Wonders:
Guided visits to UNESCO-listed monuments and lesser-known gems, such as:
-
Taj Mahal
-
Agra Fort
-
Fatehpur Sikri
-
I’timād-ud-Daulah (the “Little Taj”)
We will travel through Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, and Alwar, staying in exceptional accommodations: hidden rural retreats, historic havelis with carved courtyards, palaces by lakes, and desert fortresses — each carefully selected to offer not only comfort but also atmosphere and inspiration.

The Golden Triangle
7 nights – November 1 to 8, 2026
The Golden Triangle houses India’s crown jewels, a sequence of UNESCO-listed architectural treasures stretching from Delhi to Jaipur and Agra.
Most of the course will take place in the heart of the Golden Triangle, at the 15th-century Ram Bihari Palace, nestled in the Aravalli Hills and overlooking Siliserh Lake. From this inspiring setting, we will draw ornamental patterns and paint under the guidance of Ajay Sharma, a living legend of Indian miniature painting.
