Lush Greenery. Structured Layout. Wide Footpaths. That's Bhartiya City, Bengaluru. Nested in this area, Bhartiya Mall is a shopper's ultimate destination - a big mall, with a huge open area outside.
Excited voices. Pearly white santhe tents. Flowing sarees laid in a pattern for decor... Quite an early morning sight!
It was band of beads' first experience to be a part of the design community sante - Folkluru, by ADI BLR Design week! Supported by the Government of Karnataka and BBMP, this was a unique platform for artists following various art forms. A two-day paradise for art-lovers.
A fabulous informal jam session made the stall setup lively. Thoughtful food arrangements, especially to combat the weather - heat and wind, made the experience all the more Bharatiya! The three "walls" of the stall with an open entrance seemed like a little cocoon for all my handcrafted bead products! It was a world of fantasy, come to life!
Evenings were an absolute delight - buzzing crowds, artistic performances ranging from music to dance, and a cricket match final on a HUGE screen! Our wonderful customers got to get a peek into the band of beads world, and take some of it home! It was a pleasure to meet little art fans talking about their various interests. Yes, the hand-made tradition is still alive!
band of beads would like to thank all the guests who stopped by to interact, appreciate and participate! Thank you, organizers, volunteers, ground staff and support staff for putting in the best. A special shout out to ADI for this ambitious venture of bring artists together - it did feel to be a part of the design community. And, this would not be possible without the support of the Government of Karnataka, in the vibrant city of Bengaluru!
Looking forward to be a part of another design event... a puppet show performance for sure, the next time!
