Durga Puja: From priesthood to playing the dhaak, women leading from the front tell their stories

Rita Saha pirouettes and jumps, like a bird taking flight, while drumming up a crescendo with her mallet. Her fingers are almost invisible as she swings her feathered dhaak on her shoulder, matching her feet to her own beats. “Eta te moja pai, sammano pai, maayer aashirbado pai (I have a lot of fun, get respect and blessings of the goddess when I play the barrel drums),” says the 35-year-old, looking up at the clay idol of the goddess that’s awaiting a final coat of colour. But Saha feels complete as one of the first woman drummers of Bengal who are creating a new century of women dhaakis as percussion artistes.

A Day in the Life of Abed Salama (2023) – Nathan Thrall

Based on a 2012 incident documented by journalist Nathan Thrall, this non-fiction work unpacks a mosaic of characters – paramedics, parents, police – that converge on the site of a bus accident in Palestine. Through the eyes of Abed Salama, a father who can’t locate his son in the wreckage, the story, according to writer Arundhati Roy, explores the “cunning and complex ways in which a state can hammer down a people and yet earn the applause and adulation of the civilized world.”

Where have the plum-headed parakeets and ashy prinias vanished?

We’ve started off what scientists call the ‘sixth great extinction event’ condemning thousands of species of plants, insects, amphibians, birds, mammals, fish and reptiles to a forever farewell. For many of them we know only too well the reasons why they are in such dire straits – and, in so many cases, are doing damn all about it. The Great Indian Bustard, a truly magnificent bird (and one which Salim Ali cannily proposed be named the National Bird) has been robbed of its habitat and is being made to blunder into live wires strung across its airspace or get minced by giant windmill propellers.

How the British acknowledged the importance of Delhi

In 1901, when Edward VII succeeded as the British monarch after the death of Queen Victoria, Lord Curzon as the Viceroy of India organised a formal proclamation for the accession to the title before the princes and people of India. An Imperial Assemblage had previously been held in Delhi in 1877 as a visual announcement of the British domination over India and the investiture of the title of Kaiser-e-Hind on Queen Victoria, but this time the grandeur was far greater. The 1903 event had all the trappings of oriental splendour, including a procession of 48 princes from across India riding on elephants. The procession was led by Curzon and his wife, Mary, on the first elephant, followed by the Duke and Duchess of Connaught on the second elephant.

Upon entering the Art Heritage gallery in Delhi, viewers are introduced not to an artist but a medium that has largely remained underappreciated and undervalued in India. Believed to be one of the oldest art forms, a wall lists the commonly used terminologies associated with printmaking and its foremost practitioners in India. “The goal of the exhibition is to restart a conversation about printmaking and tackle some misconceptions about prints, such as they being simple reproductions. A combination of artistic creativity and scientific methodology, we are looking at the print medium from an alternative perspective in this exhibition — exploring the various stages of the printmaking process and the artworks that emerge along the way,” says Tariq Allana, associate director, Art Heritage.
