Artistic Plates of Peace: Young Creators Unite for Brotherhood and Nature
In a vibrant display of youthful creativity, more than 50 budding artists have voiced the ideals of universal brotherhood and environmental protection—each through a plate turned canvas.
Whether working on clay pans, ceramic pieces or disposable paper plates, every artwork bears a personal touch, echoing heartfelt intention.
This colorful initiative forms part of the 16th International Rang Malhaar, a global movement envisioned by Jaipur’s acclaimed artist Dr. Vidyasagar Upadhyay.
As noted by renowned artist Dr. Suresh Jangid, local coordinator, the event has been celebrated annually across continents since its inception in 2010, unfolding every July Sunday as a tribute to harmony through art.
Painting Symbols of Life: A Global Canvas of July Sundays
Since 2010, a wave of artistic energy has swept across the globe every July Sunday—uniting hearts through the colors of creativity. Each year, a different everyday object becomes the canvas: from umbrellas and hats to tea kettles and aprons. These choices aren’t random; they reflect simple yet powerful elements of life.
This year’s focus—the pan and plate—is especially meaningful. As symbols of food, they represent life’s most basic need and a shared connection among all people.
Through this ever-evolving tradition, artists transform common objects into messages of unity and care, turning art into a language of hope.

Art with Purpose: Creativity for a Better World
