Man of Art

Anjaneya.H.Chitrakar - an artist by birth has continued this profession of fine art inherited from his ancestors in KINNAL. Originally, after the fall of The Great Vijayanagar Empire, majority of families who were engaged in the skills of fine arts migrated to a small village in Hyderbad Karnataka in the District of Koppal called KINNAL.

We can find majority of families engaged in a producing variety of artistic dolls, wall mounts, play toys, specially carved swings with beautiful paintings, wood made cradles with unbelievable patterns of designs, and the list continues...

Almost the entire village is engaged with fine art making. They have mastered art by their birth so this small village can be called as "VILLAGE OF ARTS".

There are many more "Leanardos" in the village still to be exposed to the world and this is perhaps first attempt to bring the skills of Anjanappa Chitrakar to a world recognition.
