He added that the MLAs who switched over to the TVK won because of AIADMK workers, and thus the ruling party was reaping the benefit of the hard work by his party cadre.

What began as a temple backdrop has travelled far beyond the walls of Nathdwara temples in Rajasthan.

Pichwai paintings, traditionally created to depict festivals and celebrations around the deity Shrinathji, have today found a place in homes, galleries and contemporary art spaces.

Artist Yugdeepak Soni, who has been practising the art form for years, brings his interpretation of this centuries-old tradition to Chennai with his latest exhibition.

“Pichwai originated around 400 years ago in Nathdwara. Traditionally, it was a temple hanging. The paintings were made to depict different festivals and occasions and were placed behind Shrinathji, a form of Lord Krishna depicted as an eight-year-old child. The idea was that whatever celebration was happening outside, it should also be brought inside the temple for him. So, artists started depicting these occasions in paintings and hanging them inside the temple,” he adds.

For author Malvika Singh, food is about the people, places, conversations and moments that stay with us long after a meal is over.

This forms the heart of Cooking for My Firefly, the second volume of her memoir trilogy, which will be explored at a reading session called ‘At the Table with Malvika Singh’, presented by Prakriti Foundation on September 15.

“Cooking for My Firefly is a memoir about how we grew up,” says Singh, recalling a time when eating together as a family was “sacrosanct”.

The dining table, she says, was the centre of the home, a place where people talked about world affairs, personal problems, celebrations and aspirations.
