The participants complimented both the drawing and art teachers on their patient teaching style.
A special guest, Smt Lakshmi Raghavan was invited for the gathering who shared her insights on Thanjavur painting.
In his Benedictory address, Swami Ishapremananda ji Maharaj (Incharge of V. House Museum) highlighted the importance of the art forms to unite with God.
