Subject: DAD Webinar Season 02, Episode - 03, on 25th June 2022 - Reg.

 

Dear Sir / Madam,


As you are aware that Ministry of Tourism organizes Dekho Apna Desh Webinar sessions under various schemes and topics every Saturday. On coming Saturday 25th June 2022 at 1100 hrs, we are going to present DAD  Season 02, Episode No. 03 on topic, "The Buddhist relics of Amaravati". This is the story of the discovery of the oldest Buddhist art in the world! Unearthed by chance in the ancient city of Amaravati (present-day Andhra Pradesh), these are the remnants of a Buddhist stupa built by the mighty Satavahana kings. Who were these Hindu kings that created such beautiful Buddhist art? Storytrails invites you to travel back in time to explore events that transpired after the death of Buddha; events that were instrumental in the spread of Buddhism, and that eventually led to the building of grand Stupas and the development of magnificent Buddhist art. 


The Speakers of the day are : 


Mrs Akila Raman

A postgraduate in History and a collector of assorted historical and mythological stories and trivia, Akila has over fifteen years of teaching under her belt. She has also been a Language Trainer in the ITES industry for a short stint. Akila has a beautiful way with words, reads like she is possessed, loves telling stories and is happiest when meeting new people. Her work at Storytrails gives her legitimate reason to engage all of these interests and she hasn’t looked back since 2008, when she joined the team. At Storytrails, she is a storyteller and a senior research associate.

 

Mrs Lakshmi Shankar

Lakshmi has a degree in commerce and a diploma in Montessori education from the Indian Institute of Montessori Studies, Bangalore. She worked in advertising as a copywriter, as a storyteller with the British Council and as a kindergarten teacher at one of Chennai’s leading schools. She is passionate about storytelling and joined the team in 2007. Lakshmi devours books, enjoys cross fit training, plays tennis, enjoys Bollywood dancing, and often play-acts in front of the mirror. In between all this, she manages to find time to head Operations at Storytrails.
