Beyond the Tourist Traps: Learning a Traditional Trade with Your Homestay Host

Traveling isn't just about seeing new places; it's about immersing yourself in the local culture and learning from the people who live there. On my recent journey, I experienced this firsthand by staying at a homestay in Gwalior and Mela Kothi, where I had the unique opportunity to learn traditional trades from my hosts. This hands-on experience took me beyond the typical tourist paths and provided a deeper understanding of the local heritage.

The Art of Pottery in Gwalior

My adventure began in Gwalior, a city renowned for its historical forts and palaces. Opting for a homestay in Gwalior brought me closer to the local way of life. The family I stayed with lived in a charming, old house adorned with traditional decor. They were not only warm and welcoming but also deeply rooted in their cultural practices. The head of the family, Mr. Sharma, was a skilled potter, a craft passed down through generations.

Eager to learn, I expressed my interest in pottery, and Mr. Sharma was delighted to teach me. Every morning, after a hearty breakfast of poha and jalebi, we would head to his workshop. The workshop was a humble space, filled with clay, tools, and a potter's wheel. Mr. Sharma patiently guided me through the process, from kneading the clay to shaping it on the wheel. His hands moved with practiced precision, turning lumps of clay into beautiful pots and vases.

Hands-On Learning

Working with clay was a therapeutic and rewarding experience. Mr. Sharma explained the significance of pottery in Indian culture, how it was used in everyday life, and its symbolic meanings. Under his guidance, I made my first clay pot, an imperfect but cherished creation. This hands-on learning was far more enriching than any museum visit or tourist attraction. It connected me to the local culture in a tangible way and gave me a newfound appreciation for the craft.

A Rustic Retreat at Mela Kothi

After my enriching stay in Gwalior, I traveled to Mela Kothi, also known as the Chambal Safari Lodge. Set in the tranquil Chambal Valley, Mela Kothi is an eco-friendly retreat that combines rustic charm with modern comforts. The lodge is surrounded by lush greenery, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city life.

Mela Kothi is not just a place to stay; it's a gateway to exploring traditional rural life. The lodge’s owners are passionate about preserving and promoting local trades and crafts. One of the fascinating trades they introduced me to was weaving. The surrounding villages are home to skilled weavers who create beautiful handwoven textiles using traditional techniques.

The Weaving Experience

During my stay, I had the chance to visit a nearby village and meet the weavers. The villagers welcomed me warmly, eager to share their craft. I spent several afternoons learning the art of weaving from Mrs. Devi, a master weaver with decades of experience. She showed me how to set up the loom, choose the threads, and create intricate patterns. Weaving required patience and attention to detail, but Mrs. Devi’s encouraging presence made the learning process enjoyable.

As I worked on my small piece of fabric, I realized how much effort and skill goes into each handwoven item. The experience deepened my respect for the artisans and their dedication to preserving this traditional craft. It was a far cry from the mass-produced souvenirs found in tourist shops; each piece was a labor of love and craftsmanship.

Beyond the Surface

Staying at a homestay in Gwalior and Mela Kothi provided more than just accommodation; it offered an immersive cultural experience. By learning traditional trades like pottery and weaving, I gained a deeper understanding of the local heritage and the people who keep these traditions alive. These experiences enriched my travels in ways that typical tourist activities never could.

Conclusion

Traveling beyond the tourist traps and engaging with traditional trades offers a unique and meaningful way to connect with a destination. My time at the homestay in Gwalior and Mela Kothi showed me the value of hands-on learning and the joy of discovering the heart and soul of a place through its people and their crafts. These experiences not only enhance your appreciation for local culture but also leave you with unforgettable memories and newfound skills.

Top 10 Offbeat Destinations In Rajasthan, India

Rajasthan, the land of Maharajas, infinite lakes and towering palaces, is all that and more! Travellers who have spent years exploring the fantastic expanses of Rajasthan, will tell you that it's a land of unpredictability and holds a mind-blowing surprise around every corner. So much so, that if you have truly experienced Rajasthan once, it'll be difficult for you to go back!

Famous Offbeat Places in Rajasthan that should be at the top of your travel list:

Sambhar:- The town of Sambhar is named after the largest inland salt lake in India, the Sambhar Lake. The origin of Sambhar Lake is unknown but its mention is found in the epic of Mahabharata. Legends claim that the regional deity, Shakambari Devi, is behind the flatland's formation. Irrespective of the narrative, the salt lake is a favourite with photographers, especially astrophotographers.

The night sky here is famous for offering a great view of the milky way. Other than photography and camping at the Sambhar Salt Lake, you can also pay a quick visit to the Shakambari Devi Temple or climb up the Devayani Tank for a panoramic view.

Kumbhalgarh:– Kumbhalgarh (literally "Kumbhal fort") is a Mewar fortress on the westerly range of Aravalli Hills, in the Rajsamand district near Udaipur of Rajasthan state in western India. It is a World Heritage Site included in Hill Forts of Rajasthan. Built during the course of the 15th century by Rana Kumbha. Occupied until the late 19th century, the fort is now open to the public and is spectacularly lit for a few minutes each evening. Kumbalgarh is situated 82 km northwest of Udaipur by road. It is the most important fort in Mewar after Chittorgarh Fort.

Ranakpur:- Ranakpur is a village located in Desuri tehsil near Sadri town in the Pali district of Rajasthan in western India. It is located between Jodhpur and Udaipur. 162 km from Jodhpur and 91 km from Udaipur, in a valley on the western side of the Aravalli Range.

Barmer :- Situated in the Thar Desert region, this town is home to fascinating and lesser known sand dunes of Rajasthan. While tourists get lost in the Sam Dunes of Jaisalmer, they remain oblivious to the majestic Mahabar Dunes in Barmer. Along with dune bashing, you can also take a step back into time with its many historical attractions such as the Siwana Fort, Juna Ruins, Brahma Temple and Jogmaya Temple.

Kota :- Known around the world as the heart of regal India, Rajasthan has not yet received enough traction for its amazing wildlife and biodiversity. The Darrah National Park, in the scholar town of Kota, is a treasure trove of unique flora and fauna.

The Darrah Wildlife Sanctuary, Chambal Wildlife Sanctuary and Jaswant Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary make the 250 sq. km of the Darrah National Park in Kota and hosts species such as the wild boar, deer, nilgai, cheetah and wolves. The park remains open from 10am to 5pm everyday of the week.

Jhalawar :- Built in the 12th century, the Gagron Fort is the only fort in north India to be entirely surrounded by water. Along with achieving a remarkable feat with its engineering and architecture, the fort has also been pivotal to the history and culture of India. After being the seat of the Khinchi dynasty for about 300 years, the fort withstood over 14 battles and two jauhars (mass self-immolation by women of a family/community). Several fascinating tales from its vibrant and bloody past still echo the walls of the fort. Locals and visitors believe that King Achal Das can still be heard smoking his hookah, and ghosts of the thousands of women who committed suicide here still haunt the place.

The shrine of Mittheshah, a Sufi saint from the 15h century, was built by Akbar near the Gagron Fort in 1580. This highly revered spot is still frequented by believers, especially during the Islamic month of muharram when a colourful fair is organized here. On your trip through the historical gems of Jhalawar, don't forget the ancient Sun Temple at Jhalrapatan.

Bundi :– Renowned across Rajasthan as the city that has never been conquered, Bundi is a hidden gem of the glorious state. Hiding in plain sight near Kota, travellers passing through Bundi will be surprised to see the well-preserved historical and architectural sites here.

With over 50 baoris (step wells), innumerable havelis, cave paintings and a beautiful waterfall (Bhimlat), Bundi has something to amuse every traveller. Every corner of Bundi holds a surprise, but places such as the Bundi Palace, Chitrashala, Taragarh Fort, Rani ji ki Baori, Dabhai ka Kund, Nawal Sagar, Sukh Mahal and Shikhar Burj, will especially blow your mind.

Narlai :– If you plan on travelling to the Chaturmukha Jain Temples in Ranakpur, then you're guaranteed to have the once in a lifetime opportunity to live like royalty in Rawla Narlai.

Just 36km off the Udaipur-Jodhpur highway lies the heritage haveli which was once the hunting lodge of Jodhpur's royal family. Rawla Narlai has over 32 rooms, all embellished with mirror work and regal designs. The hotel also organises dinner at the Narlai Stepwell, which will definitely leave you feeling like Rajasthani royalty.

The countryside of Narlai comprises of jungles of Aravali Hills where you can take a leopard safari. And if that doesn't interest you, then head to Seli Bandh, a dam which turns into a birdwatcher's haven during winters.

Longewala:– Remembered as one of the greatest displays of courage and military tactics by the Indian Army, Longewala is a site where in the year 1971, a small group of Indian soldiers chased off a battalion of 2,000-3,000 Pakistani soldiers. The Battle of Longewala is depicted in the famous JP Dutta feature film, 'Border', and the town where it occurred should definitely be visited by every Indian as it stands as a living example of the army's death-defying efforts in keeping us safe.

Longewala is just 120km from Jaisalmer and Indian civilians do not require a permit to visit the town. Civilians are allowed to visit the border post for a day trip (as there are no arrangements for a night stay there), interact with soldiers and see parts of the Pakistani tanks that were captured in 1971.

Banswara :- Situated by the Mahi River, Banswara in Rajasthan is a place full of surprises. From temples ruins in Arthuna dating back to the 11th century to waterfalls (Kagdi, Juha and Kadeliya) that turn into a cascading vision during the monsoon, Banswara is a treasure trove of historical, cultural and natural gems hiding in plain sight.

It is also known as the home of the Bhil tribe, known as the bow-men of Rajasthan, which still make up half of the population. Banswara has a fascinating mix of terrains which can rarely be found together in one place; the cave lake of Ram Kund, the wetlands of Diablab Lake and the hills around Samai Mata Temple are a few great places to see this.

Hindistan’a seyehat etmeyi seven birçok insandan biri misiniz? O zaman başlayalım…)))

Kuzey ve Güneyi keşfetmek için Hindistan’da on günlük bir yolculuğa çıkacak kadar şanslıydım. Her ne kadar Asya da başka yerlere seyahat ettiysem, bu benim Hindistan’a ilk ziyaretimdi.  Gittiğim yerlerden kesinlikle farklıydı. İnsanlar bazen burada kendi üzerinde baskı duyabilir. (Medyanın korkunuzu beslemesine izin vermeyin). Ancak, Hindistan renkli ve çeşitli bir ülke.

Hindistan’ın kuzeyinde, kalabalık ve yoğun şehirler, gürültülü şehir atmosferi ve abartılı saraylar vardır. Güneyinde ise, palmiye ağaçları, yemyeşil araziler, tropik doğa ortamı ile karşılaşıyorsunuz.

Hindistan’da gitmek istediğiniz yeri araştırmaya başlayın ve bir güzergah hazırlayın. Ayrıca, hiçbir şey gerçekten Hindistan’a yapacağınız ilk yolculuğun kültür şokuna hazırlayamasa da, bu inanılmaz derecede zengin ve egzotik kültür hakkında Hindistan’ı ziyaret etmeye hazırlanmanıza yardımcı olacak kadar fazla bilgi edinmek iyi bir fikirdir.

Hindistan’ın temel görgü kurallarını takip edin…

Elbise seçimi,

Eğer erkekseniz, genellikle kendi ülkenizde giydiklerinizi, Hindistan’da da giyebilirsiniz.Fakat, giyeceğiniz T-shirtlerde düz baskısız olmasında yarar var. Ya da sadece düz desenli. Farklı baskıları olan elbiselerinizde, geleneksel ya da bir anlam ifade eden bir şey giyerseniz, yabancı bir insan izlenimi her zaman sizi rahatsız edecektir. Fotoğraf çektirmek için etrafınızda dolanan insanlar ve ya sizin neler ile ilgilendiğinizi sadece öğrenmek için takip eden insanlar.

Eğer bir kadınsanız, rahat kıyafetler giyin. Hindistan’da ne giyeceğiniz hakkında biraz daha fazla bilgiye ihtiyacınız var. Bu konuyu kapsamlı bir şekilde anlayabilmek için, belirli noktalar şunlardır:

İnsanlar neden Hindistan’da yabancılara bakıyor?

Hindistan’da giyinmek için genel ipuçları.

Hindistan’da geleneksel kıyafetler.

Hindistan’da düğün ve diğer fonksiyonlara nasıl giyilir?

Hindistan’da batı kıyafetleri giyebilir miyim?

Hindistan çok farklı bir ülkedir. Hatta caddede yürüdüğünüz zaman bile şaşırabilirsiniz.  Sadece sabırlı olun ve alışın. Hindistan’ı ilk kez ziyaret ettiğinizde, kısa bir süre içinde tanımak yerine, tüm ülkeyi acele etmeden bölgeyi ayrıntılı olarak görmeye odaklanabilirsiniz.

Özellikle kuzey bölgede kime güvendiğinize dikkat edin. Seyahatinizi mahvetmeyin. Bir süredir Hindistan’da bulunduktan sonra, kimin gerçek olduğunu ve birisinin sizi aldatmaya çalışıp çalışmadığını, ancak içgüdülerinize güvendiğinizi ve naif olmadığınızı fark edebileceksiniz. Zihinsel olarak kendinizi hazırlayın.

Hint dilinde temel kelimeleri öğrenin!

Namaste – Merhaba

Acha- İyi

Acha na-İyi değil

Kitha rupia-Ne kadar

Mutlub-Anlam

Apka mutlup ho-Ne demek istiyorsun

Madat-Yardım

Rakamlar : 1-ek, 2-do, 3-teen, 4-cha, 5-panch

Hindistan’da ingilizce bilen sayısı fazladır. Ama yinede yanınızda s��zlük bulundurmanız iyi olacaktır.

Madem ki, Hindistan’dayım klişeler ile başlayayım.

Emre Can Kaya kardeşim de, kendisine başlangıç noktasını belirlemiş.

Hindistan’ın Kuzeyindeki Şehirler ve Kasabalrında Maceralar

Hindistan’ın kuzeyinde Delhi’nin Moghul mimarisinden Pushkar’daki çölde bir deve safari yapmaya kadar her şeyi keşfetme şansını getiriyor. Bu muhteşem bir macera fikriniz gibi görünüyorsa, bu klavuz, bu bölgenin sunabileceği en iyi şeyleri keşfetmenize izin verrecektir.

Delhi

Hindistan’ın genişleyen başkenti yaklaşık olarak 17 milyonluk bir nüfusa ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Aslında iki parçaya ayrılıyor. Eski Delhi’nin çökmekte olan eski kendi ve yeni düzenlenmiş Yeni Delhi. Yan yana dururken sanki tamamen faklı ülkeler gibi. Birinden diğerine adım atmak başka bir ülkeye gelmiş gibi hissediyorsun.

Yeni Delhi

Hindistan’nın resmi başkenti. Delhi kentinin 11 ilçesinden olan Yeni Delhi’dir. Burası aslında Delhi’nin küçük bir bölümünü oluşturuyor ve doğudaki Uttar Pradesh eyaleti, diğer tarafında ise Haryana ile sınırlanıyor.

Yine ziyaret edebileceğiniz yerlerden birisi olan Humayun türbesi, 16. Yüzyılın ortalarında ülkenin ikinci Moghul imparatorunun onuruna inşa edilmiştir. Yükselen beyaz mermer kubbesi ve kırmızı kumtaşları olan kemerleri ile muhteşem bir mimaridir. Bazen bu yapıya ”Kızıl Tac Mahal” denilir.

Humayun Türbesi

Eski Delhi

Kaotik olsa da büyüleyici bir yer. Kalabalık bir kent. Çarşı da hemen hemen heryerde bulabileceğiz güzel ve karmaşık işlemeli kumaşlar, çeşit çeşit baharatların bulunduğu ve hatta daha fazlasını bulabileceğiniz büyük bir pazar diyebilirim.

Burada hergün binlerce insanın dua ettiği Jama Cami’sini mutlaka görmelisiniz.

Cama Cami

Agra

Agra, Yamuna nehri yanında yer alır. Ülkenin en çok turist uğrak yerlerindendir. Burası Tac Mahal’in evi. Çarpıcı güzelliği ile ünlü olan bu mimari, çoğu insanın aklına hindistan deyince Tac Mahal aklına gelir. Gerçekten takdir etmek iöin görülmesi gereken bir yerdir.

Tac Mahal nedir? Hakkındaki bilgiler için Tac Mahal Efsanesi yazını okuyabilirsiniz.

TAC MAHAL

Tac Mahal ve Agra kalesini ziyaret ederek Chambal Safari Lodge’a gidin. Chambal Safari Lodge (Orman Evi), bu yenilenmiş bir ormanlık alanın ortasında yer alan ödüllü ve sakin bir mekandır.

Chambal Safari Lodge, huzurlu ve yeşil bir bahçeye dönüştürülmüş bir miras evidir.

Gününüze, bozulmamış bir doğal ortamda yetişen kuşlar ve vahşi yaşamdan zevk alarak, Chambal Nehri üzerinde bir tekne yolculuğu ile başlayın. Öğleden sonra, bir yürüyüşe çıkın.

Chambal Nehri

Gün batımı için Nahargarh (Kaplan) Kalesi’ni ziyaret edin.

Bu kale ziyaret ettiğimiz tüm mimari yapıların etkileyici kısmı olan yapıdır. Kalenin hemen dibinde büyük bir göl bulunmaktadır. Keçi, köpek kalenin her tarafında adeta dans etmekte ve yüzlerce güvercin kalenin etrafında ve gölün üzerinde uçmaktadır.

Nahar kaplan demektir. Garh kale anlamına geliyor. Jaipur tepelerinde, Nahargarh Kalesi surları, dağların sırtları boyunca rüzgâr alır. Kale duvarlarında ayakta durduğunuzda, Tüm mahalleyi görmüş olacaksınız. Gün batımından önce varırsanız, galeri veya balmumu müzesinden geçebilirsiniz.

Nahargarh Kalesİ

Varanasi

Varanasi, sadece Uttar Pradesh’in değil, tüm ulusun saraylarından biridir. Lord Shiva şehri hem tapınak arazisi olarak bilinen, Hindularca kutsal sayılan Ganj nehrinin kıyısında yer alır. Birbirine benzemeyen bir yer, bu nehirde banyo yapmaktan tutun, (günahlardan arınmak) ölü bedenleri dahil yaktıktan sonra küllerini bu nehre atarlar. Dindar Hinduların özellikle tercih ettiği bir yerdir.

Varanasi

Pushkar

Thar çölü’nü çevreleyen Rajasthan’daki Aravallı dağlarının batı tarafında yer alan Pushkar, başka bir yere benzemeyen bir kasaba özelliğini taşır. Popüler bir Hindu kasabası diyebiliriz. Kutsal sayılan bir gölün etrafında olması, Brahma tapınaklarından birine ev sahipliği de yapmaktadır.

GOA

Hindistan güneyinde, Goa‘yı ziyaret edin, eski bir Portekizli kolonisi, nefis plajları ve sakinliği ile başdöndüren bir yerdir.

Goa’da katedralleri, tarihi alanları, manastırları kadar güzel müzeleri ile de etkileyici bir kültürel mirasa sahiptir. Ayrıca Baga ve Calangute gibi kumsallarıyla meşhur bir kent, deniz sporları da oldukça yaygındır.
