It will continue till May 25 at the Lalit Kela Akademi.
"Art has no tribe and no boundaries. Despite, art is a medium to break boundaries and speak one universal language of peace and beauty. It altogether connects people with its own vibrations. Art speaks where words fail to explain," Prithviwasi told IANS on Tuesday.
He said that the art carnival depicts the same philosophy in an all new initiative medium by the students of Delhi Collage of Art to bring back the old form of art which has somewhere lost its charm.
"It gives me unbridled pleasure to see how far we have come over a decade and a half. From relatively modest beginnings to being recognized as one of India's major art events," he said.
