The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival galloped with audacity yet again

Catching up with old Indian tradition, muddling yourself amidst the colourful handicraft creations, connecting with the heart throbbing performances and feeling the beat of ethnic precinct is all that turns this 10 day Kala Ghoda Arts Festival into a giant manifestation of fine art. Extracting different art forms from across the cultures of India, it would then not be wrong to label it as a cultural trade fair.

This festival ushers your memory to hark-back to the era that reflect rich legacy of our culture.  Associated with one of the India’s leading business leaders Times Group, Kala Ghoda Arts Festival has all the credibility added up to its account.

This year too, it exceeded beyond the expectations of the people. The whole area was well utilized with abstract and astounding decor on every nook and corner of the expanse. The most opulent thing you would have noticed without fail would be the “Big traditional Bell” few feet away from the entrance. It rocked and rolled with the force of balmy breeze. 

The area near the entrance had a stall on different colourful masks while the other side had an arrangement of blank CDs used as fixtures in the background. The event dais was located at the center of the area. The scheduled performances were appreciating. The eat out stalls out there, were serving sizzling fares to suit every taste buds along with freezing cold gelatos.

The stalls as usual were interactive and very creative. Some had handmade bags; some had accessories, while some had stationary items. You would have seen every type of handmade things. From things made out of elephant dung to things made out of waste papers, from paper craft to painting art, from embroidery to zardosi and from accessories to apparels, everything was entirely impeccable. 

Not only Indians but, this festival greeted a lot of tourists also. Photography was an interesting piece of the festival for them. Each and every creative object was captured in their cameras to cherish it ahead in their lives. This is what takes our culture far away. 

Kala Ghoda Arts Festival has always been an ultimate aboard for all the art lovers. And such festivals hook the art of rural India alive in our hearts.
