Art Mandai Celebrates 10 Years in Pune
Art Mandai is a special art exhibition that happens every year in a big vegetable market in Pune, India.
It started in 2015 when a group of artists wanted to make art available to everyone, not just people who go to art galleries.
They thought, 'Why not bring the art to the people?'
So, they set up their art in the market, and now, anyone can visit and buy art.
This year, Art Mandai is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
It's a fun way for people to see and buy art without having to go to a fancy gallery.
Art Mandai is an annual art exhibition held in Pune's largest vegetable market, Mandai.
The event was started in 2015 by a group of well-known artists to make art accessible to the general public.
The idea was to bring art to people who do not typically visit galleries.
Art Mandai is celebrating its 10th anniversary this Republic Day.
The exhibition aims to make art affordable and approachable for everyone.
