DEEVARA CHITTARA - the ARTFORM, the PEOPLE, their CULTURE is a deeply researched coffee table book, the first of its kind documenting Karnataka folkart Chittara, the various facets of this exquisite artform, and culture in which it is rooted. It celebrates the contribution of the Deevaru community of Malnad region, and its women in particular in refining and enriching this art, drawing inspiration from nature, architecture, and their lifestyle.
Presented by the Center for Revival of Indigenous Art (CFRIA), I have co-authored the book and photographed for it. To purchase, click here.
