Event Details

Come enjoy this beautiful and colorful installation of 30 unique hand painted birdhouses with centuries old Mandala Art. Mandalas, intricate geometric patterns that symbolize the universe’s harmony, serve as the heart and soul of this project. Artist Anuja Jain has added freehand painted unique distinct mandala patterns, along with some sustainable features on each of these birdhouses to give them an aesthetic look and sensory feel. People are encouraged to stop and pay attention to the carefully selected birdsongs playing in the background to get a sense of harmony and energy flow through all these pieces. Artist also encourages gentle touching to get the feel of 3d patterns used on these pieces. 

Please make sure to stop by in dark as well to see a whole different look of these beauties as they have some glow in the dark features added to them. Every birdhouse painted for this project is a chapter in her journey, a message to the observer, a mirror to introspection. With this project artist Anuja Jain is trying to showcase her deep-rooted connection to her rich cultural heritage and values.
