The first World Kannada Convention (Vishwa Kannada Sammelana – Mysore 1989) provided me with a golden opportunity to photograph and experience the richness of folk artistry of Karnataka. Most of the following color photographs were taken during the celebration that followed the conference, and documented years later with the help of my wife, Dr. Jyotsna Kamat who identified them.
