eBook | “Santals Celebrate the Seasons: Six Murals by Sanyasi Lohar and his team” – West Bengal

The Santal village Bishnubati is situated about 8 km from Santiniketan and Sriniketan, the abodes which Rabindranath Tagore made famous. Since almost 30 years Bishnubati and its neighbouring Santal village Ghosaldanga have made a singularly vigorous effort to develop their potential in the fields of agriculture, economic uplift, and especially of education and culture.

Sanyasi Lohar has been part of these village development programmes. After conducting crafts courses (pottery, terracotta and batik) for several years, he undertook a unique community arts project in conjunction with the Museum of Santal Culture in Bishnubati.
