Moodabidiri: 10th state level three days drawing camp Alva’s Chitrasiri was inaugurated by Bhattaraka Charukeerthi Pandithacharya Swamiji of Moodabidiri Jain Math, at Putthigepadavu Alva’s high school premises on Thursday.

Speaking on the occasion he said that an artist draws the various levels of life using colours and lines. Light of the art should lighten our life.

“The artist who has faith in religion will achieve many things. When we work towards building harmony in the society then the country will be called as a wealthy country. When culture grows above everything then the ire will fade away from the society,” he said.

He further said that Moodabidiri has become as the Kashi of culture just because of the personality of Dr M Mohan Alva. Only such people can help in the growth of culture.

Dr Mohan Alva said that during the Alva’s Virasat 2018, a huge art camp will be organised in Moodabidiri.
