Nanhe Kalakaar : Rajasthan’s Art and Culture in the age of AI

At the 5th Nanhe Kalakaar Festival, we’re not asking kids to choose between crayons and screens, or between puppets and pixels-we’re saying, "Why not both?"

This year’s celebration is all about mixing the magic of Rajasthani art with the coolness of modern tech. It’s where folk dances meet funky filters, where stories from the desert get a digital twist, and where creativity knows no limits. We’re not replacing tradition-we’re remixing it! It’s fun. It’s festive. And it’s full of wonder. This is the spirit of the Nanhe Kalakaar Festival, a celebration where every child becomes a storyteller, using the best of both worlds: the timeless beauty of our culture and the exciting tools of today. The 5th edition of Nanhe Kalakaar is wrapped in the joyful spirit of Pachranga, a five-color celebration that reflects the heart and soul of our festival. Each color is more than just a hue; it’s a symbol of the values we celebrate.
