12-day painting camp ends at Kalagram

The annual 12-day Miniature Painting Camp organised by the North Zone Culture Centre, which kicked off on January 1, concluded at Kalagram here today.

The theme of the workshop this year was ‘raagmala’, which is a virtual and visual reflection of the diverse musical modes (ragas) of the traditional Indian classical music.

Programme in-charge Yashwinder Sharma said that the North Zone Culture Centre had invited 14 acclaimed miniature artists from across Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan to showcase their works. Each artist had been tasked with creating two paintings during the 12-day long activity.

Miniature painting legend from Chamba (HP), Padamshri Vijay Sharma said that the participating artists were focusing on the traditional Kangra School style.
