Inner Flow Exhibition at Hutheesing Visual Art Centre at Ahmedabad on 14th April 2015

This exhibition is about Chithrakathi Paintings on Bharatha-K-Koothu. Chithrakathi means 'Chithra’ is painting and ‘Katha’ is story, so Chitrakathi means tradition of telling the mythical and historical stories through Painting in Maharashtra/Karnataka border and in parts of Andhra Pradesh. This thing started in 2002 by the National Folkore Support centre. Traditional chithrakathi style of art inspired by scenes from ‘Bharatha Prasangam’. This interesting blend of art and culture not only brings out some of the lesser-known stories of the Mahabharatha but also the richness of earthen shades and indigenous art forms.  ‘Bharatha Prasangam’ is an annual performance by Bharatha-k-koothu, a folk theater group that performs at Draupathi Amman temples across the Tamil Nadu State.
