What you’ll do

If you have ever dreamed of visiting a World Centre but weren't sure where to start, this is your warm welcome home. Namaste Sangam is thoughtfully designed to introduce you to the warmth of Sangam. You will be welcomed into our lush, serene oasis in the heart of Pune, where our international team will make you feel right at home as you explore the rich history and experience various Sangam traditions.

Beyond the Sangam's gates, you will experience the true spirit of traditional Indian hospitality. From afternoon tea, a cherished ritual that brings everyone together, to guided explorations of the local neighbourhood and the city of Pune, this event is designed to build your confidence in a new environment. You will have the chance to dress in colourful saris or punjabi, take part in various cultural activities, make friends with people from all over the world, and find a sense of belonging in a global community.
