Visit the Bhil Carnival

Subhash Amaliyar, Gita Wolf, Catriona Maciver, Oliver Mayes

Come and join Neela and Peela, who are off to the fair… Each year, people of the Bhil tribe from Madhya Pradesh in central lndia celebrate a wonderful carnival called Bhagoria. Subhash Amaliyar, Bhil artist, paints the carnival in his traditional style. Collaborating with him are writer Gita Wolf and designers Catriona Maciver and Oliver Mayes – who turn this joyous rendering of a celebration into a one-of-a-kind interactive experience, which combines the features of a map, a story book and a pop-up picture book.

The illustrations and the narrative are both vibrant with the celebratory energy that carnivals everywhere evoke.

Indulge, The New Indian Express

This piece of work is so visually arresting that if you don’t have a six-year-old around, just frame it for your wall.

Read It Daddy

A colourful and dazzling book that shows off perfectly the amazing spectacle of a traditional Indian carnival.

Red Reading Hub

A dazzling experience and one to be revisited on many occasions, rather than – like the festival – just once a year.

This book is a delight in every way both for children and adults, for anyone who celebrates life, stories, and books.
