SUMMARY:ECHOES – A Heritage Carved in Wood

Starting at 6:00 PM\, join us for the grand vernissage of the exhibition “ECHOES – a ceremonial heritage in wood”\, celebrated in the distinguished presence of Shriji Huzur Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar of Udaipur. \nThe guest of honor for this evening is none other than Prof. Philippe Charlier\, a global figure in anthropology and forensic medicine. Dubbed by the international press as the “Indiana Jones of Graveyards\,” Dr. Charlier is famous for authenticating the relics of Joan of Arc\, studying the heart of Richard the Lionheart\, and revealing the secrets of royal favorite Agnès Sorel. His presence in Udaipur offers a unique opportunity to witness the dialogue between Indian royal heritage and French scientific excellence. Do not miss this historic convergence of art\, science\, and tradition. (Entry by invitation only – RSVP required) \n\n\n\n  \n\n    \n      \n    \n\n    \n      \n        The Secret Life of Ritual Objects\n      \n\n      \n        \n          February 15 @ 10:00 am\n        \n      \n    \n\n  \n\nWhat if objects could speak? On Sunday\, February 15th at 10:00 AM\, Rockwoods International School will host a scientific luminary for a captivating session: “The Secret Life of Ritual Objects”. \nProf. Philippe Charlier is no ordinary speaker. As a Director of Research and a renowned forensic pathologist\, he has revolutionized history by using modern science to solve the “cold cases” of the past—from the mystery of King Henri IV to the medical secrets of Robespierre. During this exceptional morning\, he will apply his expert eye to ritual objects to unveil the invisible: their history\, their hidden usage\, and their “magical charge.” This is an incredible chance for students\, history buffs\, and the curious to meet the man who makes the dead and ancient artifacts talk. A live scientific investigation that is simply not to be missed. (Entry by invitation only – RSVP required).
