Triveni Kala Sangam
Triveni: The history of ancient India
Kala: Art
Sangam: Merging
Triveni Kala Sangam means merging of the history of ancient India with art. Isn’t it a beautiful name ?
So, I wasn’t planning to go there, I went to Mandi House to see the viral exhibition of Nikas Safronov- Dream Vision. But due to extreme crowd I asked someone from there to tell me another place in the same location and if it holds our Indian art inside it. So they directed me towards Triveni Kala Sangam .
Therefore, I went there. This museum holds a lot of things inside but photographs weren’t allowed. Anyway, I managed to click some wherever I was allowed.
Rajarshi Sen Gupta
Rajarshi Sen Gupta is an art historian who is an expert in making natural dye on treated handwoven cotton paintings.
He has created several paintings that surpasses average human imagination, I wish there was an explanation to every painting though.
Archana Singh
Archana Singh is a fine arts teacher but also an amazing artist.
She uses different geometrical shapes, lines and various colour combinations to paint different city aesthetics.
Collection name: Echoes of Infinity
Krishen Khanna
You’ll also see Krishen Khanna’s paintings. He is a very famous Indian artist who painted the aftermath of the pre-Partition Punjab. Instead of staying silent he transformed the collective memory into a language of healing.
Last but not the least
The Desi Oon Exhibition
This place held so much warmth being in the open area even during winters. It felt like I have entered Himachal. People from North India have come here to sell their kneedle felted and wet felted clothes made from 100% natural fabrics.
Well, there was one more place that I wanted to click pictures of, it was filled with creativity. Due to lack of confidence within me and also being scared of “what if someone caught me and started scolding?” I didn’t stay for that long in the area.
Lol maybe next time! Anyway, that’s how I spent my day there. It took me 3 hours to fully roam the museum and then I ate sweet potato, requesting bhaiya to make it extra spicy (I love spicy food).
