A specially designed art car will traverse 3,500 kilometres across Rajasthan over 20 days, highlighting lesser‑known local narratives.
The project, launched by a team of artists and cultural researchers, aims to bring hidden stories from Rajasthan's villages and towns to a wider audience. The mobile gallery, painted with motifs inspired by regional folklore, will serve as a moving exhibition and storytelling platform.
Covering roughly 3,500 kilometres, the vehicle is scheduled to travel for 20 consecutive days, stopping at selected locations to engage locals, record oral histories and display visual art that reflects each community's heritage.
Organisers say the initiative will not only preserve intangible cultural assets but also promote tourism by showcasing Rajasthan beyond its famous monuments. Partnerships with local NGOs and heritage bodies are expected to facilitate community participation.
The journey will conclude after the two‑week itinerary, with the collected stories compiled into a digital archive and a travelling exhibition that could tour other Indian states in the future.
