Mewar Exhibition

Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation put up an exhibition "Mewar Exhibition" at the ITIHAAS Festival, on the 12th and 13th October 2019 at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), New Delhi. The exhibit displayed details of Mewar state and Guhils, State formation in Mewar, First Seige of Chittorgarh – 1303 CE, Maharana Kumbha, Maharana Sangram Singh I, Maharana Udai Singh II, Maharana Pratap I, Maharana Raj Singh I and Mewar in the 20th Century.

ITIHAAS in its 15th year organised this festival at New Delhi which culminated the original work of 45 shortlisted teams as finalists to the main festival over 4500 students from across the country, through their participation in an event called Anveshan- which means search. The event allows young minds to research topics given to them, thereby learn, to put their research to lyrics and compose tunes. It is all original work with no plagiarism allowed. The topic this year was COLOURS. Students are singing on blue, orange, green, researching the heritage or what these colours convey in our traditional societies. Why is white a colour of mourning in some societies and a colour of celebration in others.
