language, its literature, and its unique poetic and musical traditions. Migration to Kolkata from Rajasthan dramatically increased after the छप्पनियो काळ – the terrible drought of 1899. In the aftermath of this increased migration, the profits from business here, in East India, were used to build some of the most marvellous havelis in Rajasthan– particularly in Shekhawati.  KCC is excited to present a talk on this chapter against the backdrop of the history of Kolkata and Rajasthan. Richa Agarwal,  Chairperson of Kolkata Center for Creativity said that over these three days, KCC will come alive with a series of events that will transport to the land of royals — from an art exhibition by the renowned artist and researcher Madan Meena that will showcase the intricate craftsmanship of Rajasthan, to insightful talk sessions, Pop Ups, musical performance by Pandit Pukhraj ji Sharma, a play by Ramanjit Kaur and group, traditional performances like Ghoomar and multiple workshops on folk art forms like Pichhwai and a lot more. It is their privilege to have scholars, poets, craftsmen and artists from across Rajasthan including Bikaner, Beawar Kota & Bharatpur for Ramjhol 1.0. They promise an experience that will leave an indelible mark.
