Owing its name to the Bundi School of Art, Chitrashaala is an initiative by Jüsta Hotels that pays homage to the creative spirit of artists. Attended by over 36 artists from India and across the globe, the third edition of this prestigious art event was held from October 13-20, and was hosted at Jüsta’s Lake Nahargarh Palace, Chittorgarh.
This year too, the event saw a myriad of artists, some of which included internationally renowned names such as such as Prof Dr. Ashraf Abder Kader from Egypt, Reiner Langer from Germany, Semira Wahab from Sweden, Peter Marcus from USA, Malak Jamil from Iraq, Olivier Barot from France and Tatsiana Wolski and artists from countries such as Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Iran and Lebanon. Chitrashaala 2016 saw performances by Jaisalmer's Barmer Brothers as well as another night of melodious music by songstress Laxmi Santra.
"Rajasthan, as a state is rich in history, culture and music. Since we have four hotels in this beautiful state, we have dedicated 10 days before the festive season each year to Chitrashaala and every year we see it get better with time. Art curator, Bibek Santra has curated the entire event for us and we are proud to say that we have some very well established artists attending the residency" exclaims Ashish Vohra, Founder, Justa Hotels. |
