Ragi Kana, the weekly organic and natural fabric “Santhe” is putting up a grand Ugadi Santhe on Sunday, 27 March. Organised by Hulkul Muniswamappa and Munivenkatamma Charitable Trust and Gram Seva Sangh, the Ragi Kana Santhe takes place in the sprawling Chikoo and Coconut farm off Bannerghatta Road, Gottigere. The Santhe will be open from 10 30 AM to 6 PM.
The Ugadi Santhe will be packed with numerous farmers bringing authentic and fresh organic produce. There will be a wide variety of summer fruits and vegetables, freshly harvested, along with groceries. “The accent will be on small farmers – we have put enormous efforts into sourcing produce from small farmers who are earnestly pursuing organic farming. Several of them will be with us in the Santhe too, so it will be an opportunity for people to meet them”, says Kaveridas, of Gram Seva Sangh.
There will be several special counters too. Ghani Khan, the farmer who founded the Living Agricultural Museum that hosts about 850 varieties of rice will be there. Chikoo grown on the premises will be available.
Food will take centre stage with a special section dedicated for traditional Karnataka sweets (chiroti, hayagreeva, sakkare holige, etc). Several other Ugadi special dishes/ beverages will be available.
There will be an exclusive Karnataka Sarees exhibition and sale, with the weavers themselves present. There will be Ilkal, Gajendragada Pattedanchu, Gadi Dadi, Guledagudda Khana (a very special blouse piece), etc. Several of the well-known natural fabric, khadi and handloom vendors will be there, with a special section for children.
Several workshops for children will teach them about organic farming, indigenous games, working with hands, etc.
Cultural programmes will feature a Drum Circle by Agni, providing an opportunity for everyone to participate. There will be Parai Attam and Silambam too.
The young volunteers of Gram Seva Sangh will ensure that sustainability comes above everything during the Santhe.
