CFRIA is a voluntary non-profit organization that is committed towards preserving indigenous art practices in India. Its aim is to revive, preserve and support declining indigenous art practices mostly significantly concerned with the economic regeneration of the artist community. The centre plans to achieve its objective by educating the artisans about the value of their contribution, creating opportunities to further their aesthetic understanding and to foster continuity of the tradition. It also endeavors to develop a sustainable archival base that would promote and provide continuity in learning and preservation of the art form.
The Chittara art is made up of only natural colors like rice paste, earth, yellow seeds etc. The symmetry is formed without using any measuring instrument. Amazing calculations !!!
