Nandi Kalagram is an art centre with residential facilities. Located in the outskirts of Devanahall, the art centre holds regular art-related workshops. As a workshop initiative, teachers from various schools and freelance artists are invited. Both the teachers and the students stay for the duration of the workshop. The classroom is built in a traditional minimalistic fashion. Nandi Kalagram is surrounded by greenery with several birds that visit and some love staying within the premise. Many artists who have visited Nandi Kalagram have expressed the energy that they have felt and have spent days creating spellbound Artworks. A lot of historical sites like the Bhoganandishwara Temple, Nandi hills, Sir M Vishweshwariah’s house and Lepakshi Temple are located within driving distance of the Centre. Nandi Kalagram is a place where one gets connected to the Self and sparks the idea of self-realisation through Art and Nature.
