The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization. God is in the details!

Heritage Walks, are best way to learn and recognise our culture, tradition, philosophy, myths and associated rituals with them. The walk makes one look back and reminds us of our rich culture and history, provoking us to think about the existence of every historical structure and place. At SPIC MACAY, we aim to preserve the rich heritage of our country, so that it can be passed on the generations to come by organising Heritage Walks module. Heritage of a city communicates the history of the place. With Heritage Walks, we help you to explore the unexplored richness of the country.
