Join us for a workshop led by artisan Vidya Devi Soni, a skilled Mandana folk artist hailing from Bhilwara.
Mandana in the local language refers to ‘drawing’ in the context of Chitra Mandana or ‘drawing a picture’. Mandana is derived from the word Mandan which implies decoration and beautification. Historically, they have been practiced for centuries on walls and floors by women as decorations for special or festive occasions. Vidya Devi Soni, honoured with the National Merit Award in 2017, will guide us through this culturally rich art form, exploring its significance and techniques.
The workshop is part of a 3-day festival KALAANGAN showcasing and supporting Indian artisans.
