Hello everyone! How was your weekend? It was quite a wet one in Bangalore but that doesn’t stop us from going out and having fun, does it? I went to Chitrakala Parishath on Saturday just in time as the week long exhibition was getting over on Sunday. I think I’ve written before how much I like the exhibitions that happen at this venue – something that’s amiss at Dastkar despite the hype. The crowd is quite different, down to earth, casual and it has a more close-knit feeling because of the relatively smaller space. I feel totally at home and don’t mind the distance.

The exhibition also saw an overwhelming number of the regular stalls – cotton kurtas and kurtis, blue pottery, terracotta urlis, colorful bangles & trinklets, black pottery, and handmade soaps.

The tanjore paintings stall at the beginning was the show stopper for me. There were two other Tanjore painting stalls inside but on closer inspection they didn’t have the finish that this one sported.
