A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to finally spare some time to explore the city beautiful, Chandigarh!! During my sojourn here, I never got a chance to see the hidden beauty of this place. One such place that I liked the most is" Chandigarh Art Gallery and Museum".
People who love to write, love to observe. So, this was finally the place I wanted to visit for the last 5 years!! I entered the art gallery and the first thing I noticed was a large photograph of Mr B.N Goawami. The place was very calm and peaceful with much to offer.
The first thing I noticed was the collection of various antique fabric ( mostly cotton) that the 19 century people used! In the center of the hall was a beautiful piece of art namely" Sikander Nama Rumaal", which was the translation of embroidered inscription in person presented to Maharaja Gulaab Singh by Sayyad Joo, resident of J&k!!
It is a pictorial shawl filled all over with figures and animated scenes of battle of Alexander!! One striking highlight of the day was when I saw QURAAN E PAAK written in Bihari script!! Each page features thirteen lines, with sacred name ALLAH, written in gold This was" the moment" of the day!! I walked and came across a beautifully made collage showing various thinkers, scholars, saints and common people!
Suddenly a painting grabbed my attention, it was an oil painting of a woman, who was draped in something like newspapers from top to bottom! Now this is what we call" a picture speaks million things"!! On going upstairs, we saw various evidences of the" formation of Chandigarh city".: The chief architect of the city was Mr Mathew No wiki, whose details were mentioned there.
There was a section featuring significant personalities in making of Chandigarh!! on the whole it was a very beautiful and educative experience!!. If you are lucky enough to visit this city someday, do not miss this place!! P.S: have a safe visit. It is beautiful!!
