fusion music competition.<BR> This competition was organized as part of the ongoing Pichhwai exhibition, a collection of historic devotional hangings from TAPI (Textile Art of The People of India, Surat) at the National Museum in the capital. The competition was conceived with a vision of introducing the flavour of Indian culture and tradition to the youth of the day, which was very well perceived and executed by the TAPI representatives in Delhi. Five bands were short-listed and gave their best performances.<BR> <BR> The winners were happy to receive cash prizes sponsored by the <B>Hinduja Foundation, Mumbai</B> worth Rs 25,000. The first prize was bagged by an independent band from Delhi University who like to call themselves &quot;<B>Rooh</B>&quot;. With Mohit Lalwani on the vocals, Rahul on the guitar, another Rahul on the tabla and Akshat on the flute, these youngsters charmed the audience with an endearing stage presence and presented a medley of Krishna songs in their melodious voices. &quot;<B>Manchaley</B>&quot;, a band with children from the NGO Kutumbh swept away the second prize with their joyful medley of Bengali and hindi song, enacting the playful tactics of Krishna. Hemant and his friends from the NGO &quot;<B>Manzil</B>&quot; had specially composed lyrics from the point of view of a pichhwai craftperson who says,<BR> <BR> <I>&quot;guzuar bazaar thha mushkil, jab khaali they mere haath,<BR> hunar ban aye pichhwai ka, ae mere peer ae shrinath ! &quot;</I><BR> (To make ends meet was a difficult ordeal when I had no work, Shrinathji became my saviour as I mastered the art of Pichhwais.)<BR> <BR> Director of exhibitions at the National Museum, Dr RRS Chauhan, along with RJ and singer Vandana Vadehra and journalist Sanjay Sharma judged the performances. &quot;Such events truly add value to museum exhibitions, and I am glad it has contributed to connect the youth of our city to Indian art and culture&quot;, says curator and coordinator from TAPI, Sujata Parsai.</TD> <TD VALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="63">&nbsp;</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD HEIGHT="30" WIDTH="187">&nbsp;</TD> <TD WIDTH="7">&nbsp;</TD> <TD WIDTH="448"> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN CLASS="bdy"><A HREF="http://www.tapicollection.com/exhibitions/pichhwais/events_07.htm">&lt;&lt; Back to Pichhwai Exhibition Events page</A></SPAN></P> </TD> <TD WIDTH="496"></TD> <TD WIDTH="63">&nbsp;</TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD CLASS="smbdy" STYLE="vertical-align: top" WIDTH="801"> <DIV ALIGN="center"> <FONT COLOR="#666666">© 2005-19</FONT> <A HREF="http://www.tapicollection.com/default.htm">TAPI Collection Surat</A> </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
