Chitra Santhe 14 Edition (2017) Chitra Santhe- This is an exhibition, which is solely dedicated to the painters. It happened that I got a chance to visit the 2017 edition of Chitra Santhe; I was awestruck, honestly. Organized in Bangalore, this is the biggest gathering of the painters organized in the southern India. Almost, 1000 painters become a part of this festival with their stalls, every year, but this year the count reached to 1400 artists. Various kinds of artists were seen during this festival and they attracted a crowd of lacs of people. This expedition, Chitra Santhe 2017 wasn't organized in some hall or auditorium, but on the street where Karnataka Chitrakala Parishad is located; this year the area has been extended to create a comparatively larger area for artists as well as the visitors. Though, it was the largest art exhibition or gallery of south India, but it was successful in attracting artists from 16 states, isn't that tremendous? All the pain
