En route to Coco Shambhala from Goa Dabolim Airport, my first stop was Thakar Adivasi Kala Angan (Museum & Art Gallery) in the ancient village of Pinguli. Here, I had the privilege of meeting Padma Shri recipient Shri Parshuram Atmaram Gangavane and his sons, Chetan and Eknath. Together, we explored the rich history and evolution of Chitrakathi, an art form that has been passed down through generations but now faces the threat of fading into obscurity. Read my article here: https://www.hindustantimes.com/books/epics-in-string-leather-and-shadow-puppetry-101721996881293-amp.html 👉🏻 I wanted to share a few images from my visit, offering a glimpse into the unique atmosphere of the museum. The complex is thoughtfully divided into four sections: the museum itself, a performance space for string, leather, and shadow puppetry, an agro-tourism area, and the Thakar House, which primarily serves as a souvenir shop. 👉🏻 Chitrakathi, the art of storytelling through pictures, primarily focuses on the Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. However, the Thakar tribal community has crafted their own unique renditions of these timeless tales. Witnessing their distinctive interpretations was an unparalleled experience for me, and I am confident that you will find it equally captivating when you have the opportunity to experience it in person. #chitrakatha #chitrakathi #sindhudurg #cocoshambhala #tribalart #thakartribalcommunity #maharashtratourism #travelwithkrazybutterfly
