Up, Close & Centre

Kaka Bhushundi Narrates the Story of his Past Life, 1814, Style D, Artists from the second wave of migrations from Jaipur, PTG.02337

There’s more to things than meets the eye — especially art. What we see is an amalgamation of contexts, symbols, ideas and more. Join MAP’s Research Curator, Meghana Kuppa to take a deep dive into a folio from our ongoing exhibition Book of Gold: The Kanchana Chitra Ramayana of Banaras. Learn more about its context, narrative, artists and making — to gain further insight into what makes this manuscript unique. 

We will host two mediated sessions, one at 3:00 PM and another at 5:00 PM. Feel free to drop in at either. 

This event has been conceptualised as part of the exhibition, Book of Gold: The Kanchana Chitra Ramayana of Banaras. For the first time, this exhibition displays nearly 80 folios from this extraordinary illustrated manuscript of the Ramcharitmanas.
