‘AIPPENS’ THE FOLK ART OF UTTARAKHAND


These beautiful hand painted designs are called AIPPENS and these Aippens belong to the Kumaun region of Uttarakhand. This is a heritage art and every shape denotes some specific god or religious activity.
            These Aippens are special because they are made free hand. No tracing, screen or stencil is being used. Samagra is trying to preserve and spread awareness through training programs run by our expert painter Geets.
