Exhibition Of Paintings : 'Earth Voices'

A rare painting exhibition on forest conservation will held in Kolkata. Campaigns have been done on various forums, but rarely have they been routed through art. Forests, with all their natural splendour, colours and wildlife, will come alive on canvas at a unique painting exhibition at the Birla Academy of Art and Culture from May 15-20. Titled 'Earth Voices', the exhibition will have 45 paintings that catch various shades of nature, jungles and even jungle lore. They have been painted by Indian Forest Service officer V K Yadav and his wife Alka. The idea is to spread awareness about jungles and wildlife and sensitize people about the need to protect them, says Yadav. "We have got some brilliant artwork that brings alive the beauty of forests. They also carry a subtle message that won't be lost on the audience. If this inspires even a few to take interest in nature and wildlife and do their bit for conservation, we would have done our job,&qu

Amongst them, a few instruments of 'Bengali Band' played at the reception of 7th Edward, came to Kolkata as Prince Of Wales. We came to know from the book 'Universal History Of Music' (1896) by Sourindra Mohan that in the year 1878, at the time of his Japan tour, the then Emperor Mikado gifted him various musical instruments like flute, organ, harp, veena and drums of different sizes. The big drum was painted by traditional Japanese paintings and in the name of famous ancient warrior '
