Bhim Sutradhar a chau mask artisan will be teaching how to make Masks. Participants can take home two masks – one made and painted by themselves and the other made by the artisan. These masks are typically used in a very popular chau form of dance from West Bengal, Jharkhand and Orissa.
Paper, mud and clay are used to make the masks and are then painted in pastel shades.
