Read moreA short walk up the hill and I was greeted by Kavita Aunty with a generous smile that instantly made me feel welcomed. Guiding me through the entire place she explained every part of it, beginning from painting on the planks depicting everyday life, masks used during festivals, a dedicated room for her paintings each depicting it’s story so beautifully, from architectural style, traditional cookware, currency, old manuscripts to jewellery and sculptures.
