Living Temple Exhibition Chapter II ~ Reminiscing History

Living Temple Chapter II, curated by Annapurna Mandipadiga and organised by Ekchitra, brought together a collection of artists and their interpretations of temples, art, and heritage. Reminiscing History was part of the exhibition, showcasing a series of artworks from its ongoing collection of heritage revivals.

The highlight of this edition was a new artwork added to the Hampi collection, Hampi Over the Years, created by Ar. Parnavi Bangar. The exhibition also featured a catalogue of revival illustrations from Sarnath, Nepal, Raigad Fort, and Shaniwarwada, adding to the growing collection of monuments documented and reimagined through Reminiscing History.

The first chapter of Living Temple was held last year at T-Works, Hyderabad. This year, the exhibition moved to Ekchitra's own art gallery in Hyderabad, bringing together works by several artists. It was inaugurated by Shilpa Reddy and welcomed visitors, including Jayesh Ranjan and other notable personalities.

The exhibition will remain on display for a month, with several events, workshops, and special visits planned during this period. Follow Living Temple's page for updates on upcoming events.

Each artwork is an attempt to revive broken and forgotten monuments through research-based illustrations, using available architectural evidence, historical references, and visual documentation.
