Daira - Centre for Art and Culture is organising an exhibition of drawings and mixed media paintings by Toofan Rafai from 18th to 31st January. A collection of 34 of Rafai's recent works are on display. All the paintings have been done with natural dyes.
Toofan Rafai is an 82-year-old senior artist who was born in a community of beggars. His life, then, is a typical rags to riches story. After begging on the roadside for 19 years, Rafai managed to find a job in a factory in Ahmedabad. One day, accidentally, his hand slipped into the machine, and most of his fingers on the right hand got chopped off.

Realising his hidden talent, the nurse secured him admission to a diploma course in drawing & painting at Sir J J School of Art, Mumbai, and since then there has been no looking back. He went on to complete his P G in Mural Decoration under the Government of India Scholarship Program, at Mumbai. He then began research into his chosen subject
