I recently visited the South Central Zone Cultural Centre (SCZCC) in Civil Lines, Nagpur, and it was a captivating experience for anyone passionate about art, culture, and heritage. The SCZCC plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural diversity of central India, showcasing traditional art forms, folk dances, and handicrafts from various states.
The center regularly hosts vibrant cultural events, workshops, and exhibitions, offering a platform for local artists and artisans to display their talents.

The atmosphere was lively, with artists passionately sharing the stories behind their crafts.
