A visit to a handicraft shop in Gudigaragalli
In my previous post I have written about Gudigargalli- A street Of Handicrafts. As promised in the previous post, in this post I’m taking you to one of the handicraft shops in Gudigargalli.
Every time I visit my native, I visit Gudigaragalli to buy gifts for my friends and some collectives for myself. This time I could capture some photos. So sharing the magnificent works of art with you.
Mahalasa Kalakendra, is one of the shops, I often visit. So taking you there.

| Mahalasa Kalakendra-This shop has good collection |
Once you enter, you can see everywhere beautifully crafted wooden statues:
Statues of Lord Ganesha, in different styles:
And statue of Lord Krishna:
This is very rare one, Shri MahaVishnu, standing on lotus flower:
Very famous one : Geetopadesha:
And some beautiful wooden panels , with eye catching sceneries crafted on that:
The below are beautifully crafted wooden articles, which depicts blend of traditional art with modern theme:
I know you are appreciating the art. Major part of your appreciation shall go to Mr.D.D.Shet, who is the man behind the art,
He is awarded 3-4 times with State and National awards. No wonder!. Though the profession of art and crafts, started by his father, I can say, Mr.D.D.Shet has given new dimension to this art, by blending traditional art with modern theme. Now the third generation is taking it forward.
As I said in my previous post, I’m really proud of Gudigaragalli, which made my native Kumta famous :-).

So very beautiful. I have the Geetopadsh in my house , now I think it must have originally come from here. Really beautiful.
