Aksharodaya 18, 19, 20 May 2008

At the stroke of the brush, the ink shall drop, lines and curves, the letters shall flow out, in ten directions, in ten languages they shall flow, they shall expand they shall grow.

The students of Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art presented a magnificent event – Aksharodaya. The alphabets of ten different Indian scripts were illustrated on a larger than life canvas. Like the sunrise, each script grew and spread its energy to illuminate the people present.
