Project Tantavyaa Presents “Shwet Shyam”

The RSB Foundation presents Project Tantavyaa: Shwet Shyam, a week-long cultural showcase celebrating India’s rich textile heritage and living craft traditions. Bringing together over 100 museum-quality handcrafted textiles and art pieces from Odisha, Bengal, and Assam, the exhibition explores themes of devotion (Sankirtan), empowerment (Shaktikaran), and dignity (Swabhiman).

Conceived as a craft revival initiative, Shwet Shyam blends heritage with contemporary storytelling, spotlighting artisan communities and sustainable design practices. The showcase is led by Ms. Priyanka Behera, with creative curation by Pankaj S. Chadha.

The exhibition opens on 27 April 2026 in the presence of distinguished dignitaries, including Union Ministers Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.
