Your ajji’s sari is soft and pretty. But look closer!
The motifs have meanings, the prints have histories, and the patterns have traveled further than you think.
In this session, children learn to read the language of the sari, build stories from its motifs, and block print their own patterns onto cloth. They will leave with their own printed story, and many reasons to look more closely at what we wear.
Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.
Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
We welcome your ideas and input. If you have suggestions for children’s events or activities that align with this vision, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at library@bangaloreinternationalcentre.org

Juhi Dhruva
As someone who was curious about drapes and pallus as a child, over the years Juhi Dhruva learned to pleat and pin the many stories around it. A learning designer by training and someone who has always been passionate about textile and heritage education, her background in liberal arts has largely fuelled this fire and this is an attempt to share the beautiful stories and memories that our saris carry.
She can’t wait to see you, and she can’t wait to take you on this ride with her!
