Venue: Rangoli Gardens – Heritage and Culture Experience
Program Type: Full-Day Historical and Cultural Field Inquiry
Age Group: 13–14 years
Duration: One Full Academic Day
Focus: Continuity and change, community systems, cultural identity, historical interpretation and perspective analysis
This field inquiry positions Rangoli Gardens as a reconstructed historical environment through which students critically examine rural Karnataka life across time.
Learners investigate how village communities organise labour, social structures, storytelling traditions and spatial design. Students analyse artefacts, symbolic environments and reconstructed scenes as historical representations. Through structured observation and evaluative reflection, learners explore how heritage preserves memory while also shaping interpretation.
The inquiry progression follows:
Contextual Framing → Evidence Collection → Comparative Analysis → Historical Interpretation → Reflective Evaluation
Students move beyond description to analysing continuity, change and the reliability of reconstructed heritage environments.
