Sanjivan Kala Kendra

You can find Sanjivan Kala Kendra over at 78/79 Ambabari in the Ganesh Nagar area. It is a place where we focus on art and traditional things. The building itself is pretty simple and we have tried to make the inside comfortable for anyone who visits. We have a lot of different things going on during the week. Sometimes it is very quiet and other times it is quite loud with people practicing or working on their projects. We aren't a big corporation or anything like that. It is just a local spot where we try to keep certain skills alive. The walls have some old photos and some of the work that has been done here over the years. Ambabari is a nice residential pocket so we get a lot of neighbors walking by. We usually open up early and stay until the sun goes down. There is always something to clean or a floor to sweep because we get a lot of foot traffic. We have a few rooms dedicated to different activities. It’s not a shiny new building but it has a lot of character and history for us. We spend a lot of time just organizing materials and making sure everyone has what they need to work. It’s a lot of manual work but it feels right to be doing it here in Ganesh Nagar. We’ve been here long enough that people use us as a landmark when giving directions. We keep the doors open so the breeze can come through, even though it brings in some dust. It is just the way things are here.
