3Get to Know the Culture of Mysuru of Southern India, the Birthplace of the Artworks

What sort of place is N. S. Harsha’s home of Mysuru in southern India? From what sort of environment, what kind of day-to-day lifestyle do his works emerge? The artworks and other material on display including photographs and maps in “Charming Journey” will serve as a superb guide to understanding cultural background of them all.

Experience the Culture and Daily Life of Mysuru

From a corner where you can read a local Mysuru newspaper to an installation using replicas of traditional South Indian cuisine, the exhibition enables visitors to experience the culture and daily life of Mysuru from various angles. In addition, with Mysuru being the heartland of Ashtanga yoga, over the period of the exhibition the Museum will be running events combining fun yoga practice with art appreciation.

A “Resource Room” will be set up for the display of photographs and video footage of everyday Mysuru life and landscapes. These will be on show in conjunction with the artist’s sketches, source material including Indian comics that have inspired his work, and traditional Mysuru paintings, in an exploration of the cultural and intellectual context of southern India that forms the backdrop to his practice.
