Kala Ghoda Festival

Kala Ghoda Festival is the most sought-after fair for the lovers of arts and crafts. In the Bollywood city of India, the venue for the event is made near the renowned Jehangir Art Gallery. The fair owes its name to Kala Ghoda, a district in South Mumbai that literally means Black Horse. This arts festival is actually a mélange, where artists from the fields of music, dance, art, craft, theatre, film, etc present a vibrant cultural show.

From the month of November to January, Kala Ghoda Fair is held on every Sunday. In 1988, the Kala Ghoda Association was founded, with the aim to improvise the infrastructure of the region and making it known as the art district of Bombay. Infact, the association anticipated to be a catalyst for the resurgence of art and crafts in the metropolis. Check out the book shops, music shops, magic shows, puppet shows or know your future by a parrot.

During the festive season, the entire region of Kala Ghoda turns into a pedestrian square, where you can indulge in the artistic paintings displayed by the painters, amazing sculptures by potters, tattoo your hands with mehendi or adorn your arms with beautiful bangles. Moreover, you can even know the history about different art forms, from masters of the art. As dusk falls, bright illumination beautifies the whole atmosphere, along with the music and dance concerts.

For such activities, the venue is generally made by National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), David Sasson Library Garden and Jehangir Art Gallery. Max Muller Bhavan hosts the audience for award winning Indian films. Creativity and ingenuity of the artists dominate the entire area. Subsequent to all the inspired activities, savor the local food and various cuisines that feed the exotic experience of Kala Ghoda Arts Festival.
