At The Hermitage we are fortunate to be able to offer our guests a
unique cultural programme, under the guidance of our Cultural Director,
Alistair Shearer MA (Cantab); MA (Lancs); FRSA; FRAS.
The programme revolves around Alistair’s evening lectures. Covering
topics that range from history, art, and architecture to religion and
philosophy, they are delivered in a relaxed and informal setting, usually
before dinner.
As well as these lectures, we offer musical concerts and dance performances,
visits and guided tours to local temples and festivals, many of which
are not usually seen by tourists. Film nights are also a regular event.
The Hermitage is also a living celebration of the artistic richness
of India - you will find fine examples of both traditional and contemporary
art in our rooms, specially chosen to complement the Hermitage’s
atmosphere and intentions.
