Coimbatore to host ‘Sankalpa’ exhibition on the Divine Feminine through art and craft

An exhibition exploring the Divine Feminine through sacred art, traditional craft and contemporary design will be held at the Lakshmi Mills Urban Centre in Coimbatore on October 2 and 3.

Titled ‘Sankalpa’, the exhibition has been conceptualised by Vijayalakshmi Rudrappan of Krishna Parijata and Abhishek S. Murthy of Haldi Kumkum. It will bring together bronze work, temple jewellery, handloom textiles, natural fibres and floral art, with the installations drawing from temple architecture and Japanese spatial design.

The exhibition will feature sections on Ashta Lakshmi, the Tridevi, Sri Vidya and the Sapthamatrika. The Tridevi section will present installations centred on Durga, Saraswati and Maha Lakshmi, while the Sri Vidya section will use geometric forms such as circles, triangles and squares.
