Sabarmati ke Sant tune kar diya kamal !!!

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram...

Small is beautiful!! Brainchild of Anar Patel which is the he theme of second edition of Sabarmati festival, inaugurates today in Ahmedabad.  We all begin somewhere small, a humble beginning.

The festival gives space, an equal platform to all artists, be from simple walks of life to the renowned ones.

The festival is a showcase of events ranging across varied segments like Handicraft, Art, Craft, Music, Literature, Theatre, Dance, Cinema, Spirituality, Culinary Arts, Heritage, Awards etc. The event is a culmination of contributions from artists, citizens, institutes and academia all of which results into a living documents of cultural diversity.

The attraction was various art installations by celebrated artists and students of renowned institutions giving out strong and inspiring messages.


Asha Mandapa and her team from Ideal Academy created a larger than life Gandhi statue made out of glass and iron. Gandhi, known as Sant of Sabarmati is truly synonymous with the festive spirit.





Chaula Doshi represented a woman’s face, the innumerable artisans and crafts women who aren’t known much, yet retaining the culture. The decor on the representation is the material which these women use for their creations.




NID students have picked up ants as theme of “Small is beautiful”. The strong messages these tiny creatures give to human beings.. that of hard work, team work and harmony.






Not to forget the tea culture and famous shoes or mojri’s  created by Nirma University


made by students of GLS University 



 The mela or festival is held on Sabarmati Riverfront, Event ground, from 17th to 21st January, 2018.
