In Mangaluru, Karnataka, the Art Kanara Trust collaborated with the Ajgubi Pathsala Team from Sonarpur, West Bengal, to present a children's play titled 'Where Is My Nani'. This vibrant performance, directed by Ritadeep, highlighted Bengal's folk storytelling traditions through engaging narratives and music. The event took place at the Kodialguthu Centre for Art and Culture and included a two-day workshop on April 28 and 29, aimed at children visiting from West Bengal.

The workshops featured demonstrations of traditional art forms, including Alpona floor art and Kantha Stitch hand embroidery, guided by local artists. Participants learned to create eco-friendly pigments from natural materials, engaging in hands-on activities that emphasized traditional practices. Additionally, a workshop on Kaavi Kale art provided insights into Bengal's mural art tradition, enriching the cultural experience for attendees. This initiative not only celebrated Bengal's artistic heritage but also fostered cultural exchange among the young participants.
