Remnants

‘I saw but once; I yearn to see again’

A man in front of the altar of Shrinathji once spoke as he gazed at the image of the idol. For him, art was his connection to his deity. For others, it can be a personal memory or a great loss. It is Art that sanctifies remnants of these memories which last a lifetime and become a shared heritage within the homes we lovingly build. Within the fine silken embroideries of Chamba Rumal in Himachal, or from Chitrakaron ki Gali (artist’s street) in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, art just doesn’t symbolize frozen imagery but encapsulates rituals, community, a shared history, and reverence for the Divine.

This collection of Bridge Bharat celebrates the innate beauty of Indian legacy art made by the finest traditional living artists. From the grinding of natural colors to capturing fleeting memories on cloth, the collection showcases the old, the new, and  the lasting heritage of the great Indian subcontinent.
