Northern India: A Confluence of Color and Ornament

<p>STUDY TRIP ABROAD<br />January 30–February 11 and February 16–28, 2027</p> <p>Join us for a dazzling journey through Delhi, Jodhpur, and more in our first ever Study Trip Abroad to India. From Agra’s wondrous Taj Mahal to the Pink City of Jaipur, together we explore the artistic and architectural legacy of western and northern India, tracing centuries of courtly patronage, mercantile wealth, and devotional expression. We visit Mumbai’s colonial façades and rock-hewn cave temples, the sandstone citadels of Rajasthan, and the glittering lakeside palaces of Udaipur, encountering decorative arts in their original cultural contexts. Museums, artisan ateliers, and private collections illuminate India’s layered aesthetic traditions where weaving, metalwork, miniature painting, and stone carving continue to thrive. Expert-led tours and conversations with craftspeople provide deeper insight into both historic masterworks and living traditions. Along the way, we savor regal cuisine in historic settings, where flavors tell tales of dynasties past. This carefully orchestrated experience blends grandeur, heritage, and indulgence, inviting you to engage with India’s splendor as never before.</p>
