This is the day every art lover of Bengaluru eagerly waits. Not only, art lovers of  Bengaluru, I guess art lovers of India. No need to say I’m one of them  🙂 . So the day had arrived for the year 2018, the first Sunday of the year. On this day of every year Chitrasante is organised by  Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat.

As planned , I went there , with lots of expectation and excitement. This event never disappoints me. The street which is always busy because of vehicles was looking different. It was looking, like decorated both sides with beautiful paintings. Both the sides the artists had put up stalls.Looked like, their eyes were keen on on buyers and ears were filled with appreciations. On the road , lakhs of people walking , trying to look at both the sides.

The event  inaugurated by famous scientist Bharata Ratna Prof. C.N.R.Rao,  making science meet art   🙂  .The whole area was filled with joy of the visitors, expectations and hopes of artists,  appreciations, “WOW”, “Awesome” “Beautiful!” etc exclamations, colorful paintings , bargains while purchasing,  ……entirely it was looking like a festival.

As I  walked down the street, my camera was continuously working. I clicked more than 200 photos. Last year, there were many paintings of Bhuddha, in different styles and different shades. This year too I could find few Bhuddha paintings, most of the paintings were of wild life and realistic paintings. Some artists had tried their own style, which made those paintings very unique. There were traditional paintings too. In this post sharing about some unique painting I found in Chitrasante- 2018.
