I was coming to the Hobby Place for pottery classes during my stay in Mysore and I totally fell in love with it! Each of my friends who visited the place loves it as well! My dearest teacher mrs Manju is super kind and cheerful person, she made me enjoy every moment there and create my first clay pots❤️ She puts her heart to her job which is totally her passion! Cannot wait to come back there.

Chitrakala Parishat is a renowned school of art in Bangalore, with an enviable alumni list. Located in a tree-lined campus, CKP — as it is popularly known — has a museum, a store and a gallery worth visiting. The gallery has rotating exhibits while the museum has permanent displays of paintings and crafts. CKP comes alive during its much-awaited fests: the annual Handicraft Mela and the Chitra Santhe (art market), both of which provide outlets for artists and craftsmen.

If art and local culture are of interest to you, this is a must visit. Artist Venki Palimar is a talented artist from the coastal area and captures local culture and everyday life in his sculptures. The gallery pieces are for viewing and also sale. He also makes custom pieces. He is an art teacher in the local school and was free on the Sunday I visited. He conducted an impromptu workshop and I was able to create a small terracotta artwork. But this was an exception as he is usually busy working on his own creations. It is a treat for photography enthusiasts to capture this gallery housed in a Mangalore tiled building. There was no entry fee and I bought a couple of pieces from him ideal for inddors and outdoors. the road to the gallery is a little narrow and it would be ideal to leave the vehicle on the main road and walk for five minutes to reach the gallery. But a skilled driver can easily get an innova on this road. Own transport is ideal as you might end up buying some lovely sculptures.

Jaganmohan palace has a mural, using natural dyes depicts earliest ‘Dushara’ festival. Ground floor has black and white photographs of Wadiyar clan, French musical calendar clock of 19th century and Wooden plaques describing Hindu mythology which are worth admiring. The collection includes paintings, musical instruments, rare period photographs, clocks, weapons, marble busts, furniture, ancient coins and other artifacts of great value and interest. Currently it houses an art gallery and contains galleries dedicated to Raja Ravi Verma, Roerich’s, Chugtai indicates the patronage of art and artists by Wadiyar’s. ‘Lady in Moonlight’ is an unusual masterpiece by Raja Ravi Verma. A galaxy of lady musician with musical instruments by RR Verma caught my eye. Most impressive is a painting entitled ‘Glow of Hope’ by Haldenkar outlines a light shade casted figure of a serene lady holding a lighted lamp in her hands with darken background, symbolizing hope against evil darkness. Chugtai’s paintings has immaculate resemblance of Mughal artistry. Look for Nightangle, Hasarat, and Lady with a parrot. A Self-Portrait of Rembrandt took me by surprise. Shantiniketan School is well represented by Tagore family members. Watch out for Running in Terror [Nandalal Bose]. Many other paintings are of great importance and represent the art and culture of India. Japanese section birds painting on silk, miniature painting of Mughal and Rajasthani styles are also there.
