Discover art that played its part in history.

India’s proud heritage of art extends back to the prehistoric cave paintings that have been uncovered at sites across the subcontinent and thrives today in the proud strokes of various schools of art across the country. At Breakaway, we have put together Heritage Art Trails that let you paint yourself in the traditions of a region and its visual history. Come, breakaway.

The history of art in India begins with the prehistoric rock paintings of Bhimbhetka and has flowered into various schools of design and aesthetics in the modern world. From Bundi in the west to Pahadi the north, from Kalighat school in the east to Thanjavur in the south, there isn’t a traditional school of painting that we have not dipped our brushes into. Our guests have met master painters who are the last custodians of a dying art and been given access to their private collections to look at and learn from. We’ve also set up classes and lessons as well as private buying interactions which have left everyone richer for the experience.

We had a lovely time in Shekhawati. It is a forgotten era and it was fascinating and sad at the same time to see so many abandoned havelis. Glad that I got to see it before it is lost to time. The arrangements were good, Malji ka kamra is beautiful and the guides were very good. Thank you for organizing the trip for us.
Mini Bhandary Shekhawati – Feb 2020
Thank you for the excellent arrangements during our TN trip. The driver Ananda Kumar was very good, courteous and reliable. Shiva was excellent. He explained everything so well and in sufficient detail. He was also flexible to accommodate our specific needs. We spent two hours in the temple, and felt we could have spent even more time. Thank you for arranging such a great guide. Abt Chidambara Vilas. Great experience. Mr. Senthil gave an awesome personalised house tour. Thanks for the stay suggestion!

Thank you for giving us an experience of a lifetime. Everything was beautifully organised. The facilitators were excellent esp. the first one Saurabh (the story teller), he was just fantastic. Highlight of our trip was the Ganga aarti, early morning boat ride and a smooth darshan at Kashi temple.
