About
Kavad Box making was another very popular workshop of the Art Pitara series. Kavad is a small wooden box with multiple folding doors, each of which is painted in folk style usually telling mythological stories. Once the artist Shri Dwarka Prasad, a National Awardee from Rajasthan, had explained the traditional motifs and figures, the participants were encouraged to conceive and draw an original story. This resulted in some very interesting modern adaptations to an age-old story telling form.
