Folk Arts Thrive Globally Under Routes 2 Roots Cultural Education Program

The legacy of Indian culture is not just seen in its performing arts but is celebrated in all its glory through the visual art forms as well. Rich traditions such as the Madhubani painting and Henna art are gaining popularity worldwide and Routes 2 Roots is doing a commendable job in making boundaries porous by spreading these art forms through its digital cultural classes catering to students across 84 countries. Students across the globe learn the traditional folk arts of Mehndi design and Madhubani painting with experts of these forms in classes disseminated by the NGO in collaboration with Indian Council for Cultural relations (ICCR) and UPRTOU. These teachers have taught them the nuances of the ancient arts through the year-long courses unleashing their creativity to unveil delightful results.

Some of the most beautiful designs can be seen below along with a meticulously made Puppet shared by a student in the Puppet making course of Routes 2 Roots on World Puppetry Day on 21st March.
