Nagarkhana: Exhibition at Pragmahal

Center for Heritage Conservation, Cept Research and Development Foundation Collaborated with Pragmahal, Darbargadh, Bhuj for a site school program, and at the end of six months of a rigorous research study, an exhibition was organized at Pragmahal, Darbargadh, Bhuj on 14 & 15 November 2022. The exhibition was inaugurated by H.H. Maharani Saheb Pritidevi of Kutch who was accompanied by family members of the royal family and dignitaries from Kutch and beyond.

Under the mentorship of Prof. Jigna Desai and Prof. Gauri Bharat from CEPT University, students from the Masters in Conservation and Regeneration as well as Masters in Architectural History and Research, Faculty of Architecture displayed their first semester work to the citizens of Kutch and had an in-depth discussion regarding the study as well as received valuable feedback from the stakeholders, communities, and citizens.

It was a learning experience for both students as well as citizens and communities. For students, it was a great platform to exhibit their work with the actual stakeholders and for the local citizens, it was learning about their glorious past. Pragmahal is looking forward to continuing to organize such events in collaboration with CHC in the future.
