भारतीय ग्रामीण घटक The brings together a compelling body of work that reflects the enduring presence of rural material culture and mythology within contemporary visual practice.

Govind Shirsat and Raunak Rai together explore themes rooted in Indian rural life—its objects, rituals, and narratives—offering a nuanced visual discourse that bridges tradition with the present.

Through works rich in symbolism, materiality, and storytelling, this exhibition presents the rural not as peripheral, but as central to the evolving cultural landscape of India. The artists invite viewers to reimagine the rural space not as a static memory, but as a dynamic field of lived experience, belief, and creativity.

Supported by the Lotus Art Foundation, this initiative reflects a broader commitment to providing platforms for young and rural-based artists from Maharashtra and across India. The Foundation’s support has been instrumental in enabling this exhibition, which foregrounds voices often underrepresented in urban art spaces.
