Participating in the 15th edition of A Hundred Hands – Festival of Handmade, held at the iconic Jaymahal Palace, Bengaluru from November 26 to November 30, 2025, was a deeply fulfilling experience for me as an artist. Over five immersive days, the festival unfolded as a journey of conversations, connections, and shared appreciation for handcrafted traditions.
zMeeting Art Lovers and Followers
Throughout the event, I met a wonderful mix of people:
– long-time Instagram followers,
– students currently learning Madhubani from me,
– art enthusiasts familiar with my journey, and
– many who saw my work for the very first time.
Their appreciation, questions, and reflections made every moment worthwhile.
A Space for Learning and Exchange
Beyond showcasing my work, the festival became a place of shared learning. I enjoyed conversations about techniques, motifs, the history of Madhubani, and the relevance of handmade art today. These exchanges enriched my own understanding and reminded me of the importance of keeping traditional arts alive.
Delightful Interest From International Visitors
This year, I had several buyers from Belgium and France who connected deeply with the intricacy of Madhubani paintings and wearable art. Watching my work travel to new homes across continents is always heartwarming.
Encouraging Support From Corporate Buyers
I also met corporate representatives from leading brands in Bangalore exploring handcrafted corporate gifts, bespoke artwork, and potential collaborations. Their interest aligns beautifully with my vision of bringing Madhubani into contemporary corporate spaces.
