This year has been perhaps the busiest year as far as the arts go. And the rustic setting of Shilparamam is definitely the best venue to round it all off, with yet another crafts' festival.
The year, in many ways, marks an observance of a continuing tradition and an acknowledgement of the evolving post-modern era. And you find coming together here, a gamut of ethnic crafts, folk and classical painting traditions and sculptures from different parts of the country, and varied performing arts, for the eternal pleasure of the masses and to break the monotony of a scheduled life. The first evening of the festival itself saw a sizeable audience parking its 2- and 4-wheelers adjacent to the Shilparamam premises, and rushing in a for a colorful, visual treat of performances, ethnic crafts and textiles, for a great buy and, to top it all, for a feast of spicy Indian snack!
