Welcome To Lalita Kapilavai

Hello everyone, welcome to my page! I am Lalita, I come from the city of Hyderabad. I am a traditional artist, specialising in Indian Classical and Folk art. I am a graduate of the Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts, London.

In search of my artistic self, I have travelled extensively across India to learn from masters in various traditions, including Mysore tradition (Karnataka), Patachithra (Odhisha), and Warli (Maharashtra) among others. Currently, I am working on Indian miniature in Basohli, Guler, Kangra styles (Himachal Pradesh).

I’m also a professional vocalist, trained in South Indian Classical music for over 3 decades. I have graduated with an M.A. in South Indian music from Madras University.

I find inspiration for my art work in Hindu mythology and South Indian Classical music. Strewn across my work is the rich history and the inherent dialectic between tradition and transcendence.
