Design Concept: A Hundred Hands
Artwork: Priti Gadgil
Client: Sage Publications

When Sage Publications approached A Hundred Hands for a commemorative handmade momento for their Golden Jubilee, the key points were to highlight Sage, its pillars of success, its beliefs and something that was timeless. The result was an intricate hand painted Warli mural depicting the journey of Sage and the celebration of 50 years. Painted skillfully on canvas by A Hundred Hands Member artist Priti Gadgil, this collectors piece uses traditional warli symbols that cuts across languages and continents and stands the test of time.
