Event Description : ART FEST : "Delhi Nayi Purani Kalakar ki Nazar Se" organised by Kaladrishti and NDMC.
The city of Delhi has an interesting history dating far back to Indraprastha the capital city of Pandavas mentioned in the Mahabharata. It is an excellent example of the old and new existing together and offering the people a kaleidoscopic view of the city. Thus we have the broken walls of the Purana Kila (site of Indraprastha ) spanned by the Trade Fair Authority on one side and Delhi Geological Garden on the other side. The high rise buildings of Connaught place also co-exist with the Ugrasen ki Baolai or step well right in the middle of this office area. There are many such examples in Delhi which makes it interesting.
Delhi is source of inspiration for many artist whether they be visual artist, poets, dancers and musicians. Ghalib and Zauk were in love with this city .The Mughal dance form in Kathak also took place here. In visual arts define miniature paintings the sketches and line drawings of the speak much for the city. In architecture the beautiful jaali works, stone in lay works at Red fort and Jama Masjid speak for themselves.
Then the sprawling bungalows speak much for Lutyen’s Delhi and the current day high rise buildings and shopping complexes speak much for the current day Delhi.
