Gandhi Through The Eye Of The ArtistSome eminent and emerging artists have painted Gandhi through their perspectives and the basic concept is to try and understand the relevance of Gandhi in today's term to the world and the significance of his view to the India's new generation. Artistic creations give a reflection of the social, economic, political, psychological and intellectual environment of a society at that time. The artists' efforts to eliminate human divide would bear fruits if the works were able to sensitize the inner self of the viewers.

Go dhoti wayImmensely enamoured by the otherwise simple and serene Father of the Nation, Urvashi derives inspiration from the 'dhoti- clad' hero, Mahatma Gandhi. By giving the dhoti an edge, she has reinvented and showcase the unique Dhoti-Sari with an intent to pay an ode to Gandhiji, besides the dhoti pants and shalwars and even dhoti skirts and jumpsuits, all inspired by Gandhiji's simplicity and his profoundness. And what could be more appropriate than creating these silhouettes in khadi and other Indian fabrics. A monochromatic color palate in creams, ivory and white denote the pure soul and calm nature of Gandhiji.
