Visual treat and foot thumping music can be your keys to fun, this weekend.
This weekend do something new as you show your back to Chandra, a city based body painter who will showcase his artworks on ravishing models. The sleek models will then walk the ramp in their body painted avatars.
All his paintings will feature the numbers 1575, a year when the event sponsors, a private spirits company was born.
Confessing that the love for experimentation inspired him to choose body painting as a profession, Chandra says, "This form gives me greatest satisfaction.
It challenges my creative insight." Chandra promises to draw anything that his canvas demands, from landscapes to the deepest thoughts.
A live performance by the Delhi-based band Level 9 will follow the art show. Playing originals like Keep the Promise and The Bus Song, the band is going to give you the best of rhythm and blues.
