Event Information
FOLK by Discovery of India brings this 6-days workshop to explore the almost extinct art form of Chitrakathi paintings from Maharashtra. 'Chitrakathi' (meaning story in visuals) is a 300-year-old storytelling art in which mythological stories are narrated musically using the paintings.
Gangavne family is the one who has been preserving the artform despite all odds for centuries. It is our pleasure to have artist Eknath Gangavne from the torch-bearing family to share the techniques and tradition of the art with us. The workshops are a humble effort towards helping the art and artists sustain.
