Celebrate the spirit of trees of Kalyani Nagar,Pune
To celebrate the enduring spirit of trees in Pune, Gyaan Adab and eCoexist will be hosting an event, Green Grandeur to honour the trees of Kalyani Nagar.
An intimate tree experience will be taking place on Saturday the 24th of May at 6pm at Gyaan Adab, Kalyani Nagar. It will feature poetry, reflections, stories and group chanting by writers, poets, environmentalists and the audience.
The event will begin with an art exhibition ‘Water Gardens’. Water-colour landscape paintings by artist Saket Mehendale will be showcased from the 24th-31st May at Gyaan Adab. Saket’s paintings will feature water lilies on green leaves in their endless colourful water hues. "I have been painting water lilies for 3 years now and the lilies I paint are my interpretation,” says Saket.
“This collaboration event will bring the people of Kalyani Nagar together so that they can be fully aware of their surroundings and the environment,” says Randhir. Gyaan Adab is a literary centre dedicated to bringing masses together through the medium of literature while eCoexist is a social enterprise that promotes eco-sensitive products through socially sensitive means. Manisha says, “We collaborated with Gyaan Adab as they are a prominent cultural centre in Kalyani Nagar and combining art with our idea of conservation of trees will work out brilliantly.” This start-up event will surely initiate regular tree walks for ecological and cultural purposes in the future in other areas of Pune as well.
