Ministry of Culture (fully funded by it), in collaboration with the Indian Navy and Hodi Innovations based in Goa, is embarking on a project to reconstruct an ancient stitched ship reminiscent of vessels that sailed India’s ancient maritime trade routes over 2,000 years ago.
The Voyage:
Once the ship is ready, it will undertake a voyage to Bali, Indonesia, in November 2025, carrying a crew of 13 Indian Navy members from Cuttack, Odisha. The voyage aims to honour India’s old maritime trade routes and is part of a broader effort to revive and celebrate India’s maritime heritage.
The project aims to revive India’s maritime heritage and cultural connections with other countries.
