Delhi is truly a hub of culture. And being a restless soul, I look for such events like art exhibitions or something to do with history, because all these lift me. I feel very rejuvenated after visiting such a place. Recently, an acquaintance asked me as to how to deal with loneliness or depression? I told her to connect with art, history, science, or nature. You don't have to be a real arty person to appreciate a painting or an idol, you just have to try to see what the creator might have felt creating this piece. Any form of art connects us with the artist, the creator.
I got an opportunity to visit Jay Utsav, Celebrating Living Traditions of Mahabharata, at IGNCA New Delhi a few months back. Actually, I missed the food court (Bheem Ki Rasoi), the Art and Craft bazaar, as I reached there one day late! But still the exhibition was on.
Have you ever seen a tree, decorated this way? I had never seen it! The sacred thread (Mouli) tied so symmetrically around the trunk and branches of a huge tree make it look so pious, isn't?!
And while, I was clicking the tree, I spotted the nest of weaver bird (I think so)
This is the place where the food court and craft bazaar was there. I loved this sculpture!
It was spring time, so lovely flowers welcomed us!
A little glimpse of the exhibition. An exhibition on the theme of Mahabharata. In the pic, you can see Bheema tearing Jarasandh into two parts, during the war. (Thanks Bookworm for correcting me)
The exhibition was a RIOT of colours!!!!
To be contd....
RESTLESS

I did not know about it...your pics are also a riot of colors.
Well it certainly seems riot of colours..Donno but i find artsy thing hard to appreciate..History is different though..find it interesting
JaaliEngineer! glad to know history is of interest to you. True, paints etc don't appeal to everyone.
I also like sculpture... recently spotted at some places, would be putting those pics too.
Alka, thanks :) more are following :)
Now this is fantastic.
So much to see and learn from your posts! Good job..lovely pictures!
Hi.. Nice Pics.. yeah.. its a loss that you missed the Bheem ki Rasoi... i heard there was this Thaali titled Draupadi ki taali.. which was all traditional dishes.. and it was sumptuous..
anyhow i think it should be Bheema instead of Duryodhana.. when you talked about Jarasandha's Death.. i think Bheema killed him... .
Thanks Prateek!!!!
Thanks for correcting Bookworm... it was indeed Bheema who tore Jarashandh into two parts like a matchstick is chipped from the middle and threw him in opposite directions, as guided by Krishna. HOw could it be Duryodhan?! they belonged to the same party!
thanks for correcting me... it was slip of mind!!
Thanks :)
What's the pic below the picture where bhima is fighting jarasandh?
Exhibitions always fascinates me, only if it ain't too crowded and noisy.
lovely pics... colorful and lively
One colorful blog out there:) Love to follow you. Love the historical pics and news. Keep going. Best wishes!
Art is always intriguing.. especially if it matches your taste, it can be addictive. Nice read
Well, yes, rightly said.. it's so intriguing.
Thanks cloudninetalks :) and welcome here!
Thanks Subhrashis!
Nethra, art is attractive, but generally not many ppl visit such places. We are more inclined towards malls and cinema... so u won't find such places crowded, at all!
Nice concept!
thanks!
