While talking to The Pioneer, a city artost and a poet Sajid Premi says, “As the name of the exhibition suggests Kala Rachna, this event is a mixture of art in both forms i.e. paintings and poetry together. This is like an art experiment done by us to bring the painters and poets together. Such event is being organized for the first time in the city,’ added Premi.
