Another event in Bangalore that happens every year!!!
Its a Painting Exhibition called Chitra Santhe that is held on Kumara Krupa Road. It generally has about 1300 Artists or more, who come from all parts of the nation to display their art work. On this day the Entire road is filled with artists and their paintings.
Generally it is held in the last Sunday of December. In 2008 it was not held due to some reason and since then it is being held on the last Sunday of January. Lakhs of art enthusiasts and Artists come to view this wonderful event which is a feast to our eyes. Its a Must watch for all who have eyes and a mind to appreciate art work.
I loyally have been visiting this every year. One of the main reason is that, my mom is an artist and she also displays her artwork there.
There is a stall allotted for all the applicants. They get a Table and a couple of chairs. You can find all kind of paintings. You name the type of painting and there will be an artist for that. You will also get to know the different types of paintings and get to see others' innovation.
This event is organised by Chitrakala Parishath, its for all budding artists as well as for professionals, art students, and also for people whom painting is a hobby. From 2009 they have started a screening test, which involves the applicant to send photographs of two of his/her work. This year round they have started to charge a nominal fee of Rs. 100 in the form of DD that has to be given along with the application form. This is to make sure that they get people who are interested and not those who are applying just to while away their time. We Indians always try to take advantage of things that we get easily and free, dont we?
Some people waste their stalls, or dont even come after they are being allotted a stall. Please remember, Someone deserving who did not get a stall could have got the stall.
Chitrakala Parishath also has 5 year course in painting and these students are the volunteers for the event. They are so helpful and hard working. The traffic on that road is stopped for that one day and there are a lot of Cops deputed there to take care of the proceedings.
It is always very crowded and not once any crime has been reported. Once when I was there, S M Krishna who was then the Chief Minister of Karnataka had come and everything still went on smoothly and nothing was affected. Since the Kumara Krupa Road is next to the golf course and either sides of the road has huge trees, the air is very clean in spite of the huge crowd. So, there is no reason to miss this!!!
There are also many Caricature and Portrait artists and you can get one done for yourself starting from Rs.50 and goes up to Rs.150
I am hoping to meet you all there!!!!!!!
