Thiksey Monastery (Ladakh)

“Trunks N Wheels” is Chimes Radio’s unique offering focussed on introducing the various cultural elements of India to our young listeners. And we achieve this by hopping on to a journey that takes us across different States and Union territories of our vast and culturally rich country. We introduce our audience from an early age to nuances of living in a diverse country like India and start to appreciate that while we all come from different regions and enjoy our own heritage, we are all united by a common thread of being Indian and must respect each other’s traditions, beliefs and lifestyles to live in harmony. The highest result of education is tolerance - Helen Keller In each series, we pick up a specific theme e.g. folk dances, regional foods, famous personalities etc. and talk about a region of India.
• North India - We cover the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. 
• South India – We talk about the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhara Pradesh and Telangana. 
• East India – We travel through the states of Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and West Bengal. 
• West India – We cross the boundaries of the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa and Madhya Pradesh. 
• North Eastern Indian – We drive through the scenic states of Sikkim, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. 
• Union Territories - We visit the special status UTs of India like Dadar & Nagar Haveli, Puducherry, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshwadeep, followed by the newly formed UTs of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Each episode will give you a sneak peek into a specific cultural element of one of these regions which we hope will tickle your curiosity to find out more and in depth about your area of interest or maybe plan a visit to see these in reality.
