Charkha

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

For the first time ever, Mood Indigo brings to you the simple and yet so legendary charkha.

As we all know the charkha is a device used to spin thread or yarn, but for almost every Indian, it certainly holds much greater significance. The centre of Mahatma Gandhi's Swadeshi movement, this valiant symbol of defiance, which was the centre of the first - ever tricolour, is sure to lure many a viewer during this year's Mood Indigo.



I guess with all the jeans and sneakers into our blood we have lost the Retro touch a tad bit.
So, if you're looking to spin your own cloth during the time of recession, or pervade your veins with patriotism, head over to the charkha demo sessions, presented in association with Bombay Sarvodaya Mandal, to get a first-hands experience of the wheel that started a revolution only at Mood Indigo '09.

Venue : Art Arena, IRCC Foyer
Date : 21st-22nd December 2009
