Pls Visit Sonadhar Viswakarma

This is an urgent letter from Kalaboti Mudra.
This is the photograph of legendary artist Sonadhar Viswakarma, he and
his community worked with legendary meera mukherjee and the torch
bearer of Indian craftspersonship and metallurgy from thousands of
years.
He came in a Handicrafts mela Kolkata, Salt Lake, Central Park,
Karunamoyee. it will on till 13th Dec, Sunday. He was not recognised
by the people or by the organizers. Kalaboti Mudra spotted him in a
remote corner without visitors.
He and his community should be recognised as a national treasur. Here
in Kolkata, "rajdhani of arts and crafts" no one recognizing him and
his community and the organizers are seems not aware about the
traditionality. We should remember out great tradition and encourage
our torchberer individual and commuities as well.
Pls visit the mela and talk to Sonadhar if possible and buy if you
can. He and his community is a national treasure......................
