In its effort to encourage local art forms, the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) has given space for the Kaavi Kale (Kaavi Art) to adorn the ceiling, wall an beam of the International Busing Area at the Airport.
A release from MIA here said the art form, created by Kaavi Kale artist and research scholar Janardhan Rao Havanje, was the latest addition to the varied and growing art form repertoire at the airport.
The Kaavi Kale works include floral wonder of Kaavi art on the ceiling, floral design and patterns on the beam and a colonial treat on the wall. This unique art form uses red oxide as the base. The intricate patterns that emerge when dexterous hands chip away at this base is a visual treat to savour. Even domestic arrival passengers have a ringside view of this art form as they descend the escalator.
