Children can step into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya for a guided walk through India’s textile and costume traditions

India has a rich history of textile that dates back to ancient civilisations. An understanding of the use and symbolism of fabrics from across Indian regions, religions, and cultures is a way of uncovering India’s collective identity and histories. Don’t just think about what people wore, but also their textile furnishings and heirlooms, the clothes sculpted on statues, and portrayed in paintings. And with the latest guided art walk at CSMVS through their textile gallery for children and teens, you get a close-up of Indian textiles in all their glory.
