Tucked away in her narrow lanes are beautiful mansions;

Maintaining her balance between majesty and decay;
silent luxury and casual allure

Padma Shri Lalita Vakil
Born in 1954, Lalita Vakil is an Indian embroidery artist from Himachal Pradesh known for her contributions to preserving and promoting Chamba Rumal. She was the first woman to introduce silk in larger pieces. As a young girl, she began learning the art of Chamba Rumal. Initially trained to create smaller, square artworks, she began experimenting with different mediums of cloth and imagery. Later with the encouragement of her father-in-law, who recognized her latent and intricate designs on Chamba Rumal, Vakil began training local girls and women of Chamba. She has received the National Award as well as the Padma Shri Award. She was also awarded the Nari Shakti Puraskar. She has demonstrated and exhibited her works in various group shows such as in Germany and at the Canadian Tulip Festival in Canada. She has trained over a hundred women free of cost.

I was immediately attracted to Pattachitra the moment I saw those dim colors and fine work. The team at Bridge Bharat along with the artist Geetanjali Ji managed to create a very contemporary composition in an ancient artform.

I saw some works in Gond that immediately reminded me of Australia’s Aboriginal art. The team has a unique eye to curate some of the most fascinating artists. Now I forever have a part of India in my home. Takes me back everytime.
