A night in honour of the incomparable ‘Shilpi Bhai’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The evening was rife with the sound of children laughing in their joyous, innocent manner.

Organised by Multimedia Puppet Theatre, the September 1 event paid tribute to the life and work of the legendary artist, who passed away on June 29 this year at
Tagore and Nazrul: The complex bond between two literary titans (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Sheikh Mohammed Sultan (better known as SM Sultan), is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of the Indian subcontinent.
