A three-day art camp, organised as part of Hampi Utsav, a three-day mega cultural festival beginning from November 3, was inaugurated by Santosh Lad, Minister for Labour and district in-charge, at Hemakoota Hills, adjacent to Virupaksha temple, at Hampi on Wednesday.
Mr. Lad drew a few lines on a canvas and wrote: “Wishing Hampi Utsav a success”.
The camp is being organised under the supervision of renowned artiste Nadoja V.T. Kale. As many as 32 artistes — 17 from the district and others from other parts of the State — are taking part in it.
The artists have been given the theme, Vijayanagar Vaibhava, to capture the priceless monuments, known for its art and architectural beauty, on the canvas.
