Mumbai’s swank T2 terminus is set to outshine the magnificent T3 terminal at Delhi airport. The T2 terminus, which is due to open in September, will have a Kashmiri touch — a 6,800 sqft mural featuring a range of crafts that the state is famous for. These include papier mache and walnut-wood carving, terracotta glazed tiles, Khatamband (a kind of wood-panelling done on walls and ceiling of Kashmiri wooden houses) and Pinjrakari (lattice work used to decorate windows and doors).
A three-day exhibiton of 27 panels of this mural has been organised in Srinagar and was inaugurated by CM Omar Abdullah on Thursday.
Called “Conjoining Lands”, the mural has been conceptualised by two Baroda-based contemporary artists, Nilima Sheikh and BV Suresh, who were working on a broad concept developed by Rajeev Sethi.
