Rhythm and breathwork to bring our energies together in a circle at the Kerala Museum Amphitheatre.

Climate conversations begin by listening to each other, to ourselves, and to the rhythms around us.

This Climate Week, Shanka Tribe brings an evening of rhythmic breathwork, humming and sound to the Kerala Museum, moving from collective energy outdoors to a quieter sound journey indoors.

29 September | Kerala Museum
Free and open to all.

📌 JANAL TALKS | THE ODYSSEY OF THE RUPEE

What can one coin tell us about 500 years of Indian history?

The Kerala Museum & Madhavan Nayar Foundation welcome you to join us for a talk by Paul Abraham, founder of Sarmaya, as he traces the rupee’s journey across India and beyond—from its origins in the 16th century to the digital rupee of today.



🔗 Book your spot on URBANAUT APP or below:

ABOUT THE TALK:
The talk explores how a single denomination can open up stories of commerce, economics, empire and identity, and is based on Sarmaya’s exhibition and publication Odyssey of the Rupee: From India to the World.

After the talk, Paul takes us on a curated viewing of rare historic rupees from the Sarmaya collection.
