The life of one of India’s finest artists, Amrita Sher-Gil, was beautifully unfurled through masterful puppetry at the Ishara International Puppet Theatre Festival at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

A woman far ahead of her time, her art carried India onto the global canvas. Through vibrant puppetry, classical music, and heartfelt storytelling, Ishara brought her extraordinary life alive as it was discovered by five art college students, celebrating her creativity, courage, and cultural pride while inspiring all ages to embrace artistic freedom.
