3. The interdependence of Man and Animals.


We have displayed our collections across three rooms explaining each concepts. And also some of the dolls are longer than 50 years old , we don repaint or retouch that often and we tend to maintain the originality of the dolls and respect the creators.
Further each year the dolls don lose their lustre because we wrap them properly infact all our attic is dedicated for preserving these treasures

This year's new addition - we have a beautiful creation of Raghumayee sitting in the lap of Lord Panduranga and Soor Das sitting across Krishna followed by Shiva's Andha Thandavam and Bageerathan's penance.

Every year we depict one of India's art form and on the day of Dasami we perform that art form to our Apartment kids. And this year it's Rajasthan fabled "Kavad " a rich story telling art dating 400 years ago perfomed by great community of folks in Rajasthan.
