Event Details : Red Earth presents 'In Search of Bittooras: A Village Walk' Explore village life at the periphery of the city…
On the periphery of Delhi unique and amazing structures are coming up. Bitooras, literally store houses made from cow-dung cakes have stopped passers-by in their tracks. These extraordinary constructions, made by local village women, are reminiscent of tiny houses, and are inscribed with wonderful abstract patterns and sometimes studded with mosaics. Our village walk takes us to see some of the best examples. Watch a demonstration of the fascinating process of the bitooras being made and participate!
This walk is a vivid reminder of a fast-disappearing rural life that surrounds the city. We will be transported into the village by ox-cart, view the bitooras, chat to local farmers in their farmyards and sample delicious fresh lassi.

11 am: Leave for Mandi village on the outskirts of Delhi
12 noon – 2 pm: Explore the village and bitooras. Lunch.
