Sculptures of Folk Games at Utsav Rock Garden Karnataka, India

Gouda's home is fabulous. Gouda sitting with an audacious style, a helper is standing near him as if he is obeying his orders; a dog sitting near the Gouda shows the vibes of real Gouda's house. This is really a new thing to our siblings who carry an android phone with them always. They do not know all these traditions, customs, and cultures. Globalization has attracted the rural youths towards metropolitans, thus the rural professions took a new look. Left are few which are under threat. Other sculptures portrays old transport system, Buffaloes fighting, old plays like Goli gunda, Gilli danda will take you to your own creative and imaginative world where you feel and experience those unforgettable old days. Many more sculptures are waiting to take a trim shape.

The man behind this great venture is Dr T. B Solabakkanavar, a renowned artist who got many awards. Shri Solabakkanavar, recipient of awards such as the Karnataka Janapada & Yakshagana Academy Award, Karnataka Rajyotsava Award, and Karnataka Lalithakala Academy Honorary Award, conceived and designed the garden. Sree Prakash Dasanur from Dasanur Groups joined hands with him to build this international standard rock garden.

These are the some main highlights of the garden. There is lot more to see and enjoy. "Here there is no full stop to the art, it will always have comma in this garden" says its main designer and architect Prof T.B. Solabakkanavar. He is a person with big motto and aims who have made this world-class park. It has also got 8 prestigious awards.

History: In the earlier stage the whole place was an open ground. Solabakkanavar and his team always thought the about it. He had the inner feeling to do something to his village. Once a dead cow was seen in the area. The artists thought to design a cow like this. They made it so beautifully that a real cow dashed at it as if it is its enemy. When an animal is attracted and though that cow as the real one, what will be the people's reaction. Then they started designing various types of sculptures. They thought about designing a village, which is unknown our siblings. A village, its ambiance, professions (cobbler, weaver, shopkeeper, tailor, potter, goldsmith, blacksmith, school teacher etc.), their daily life, their costumes and the list goes on. All the ideas turned into reality and they have come so very well that at the first sight you feel them as real ones.

Prof T.B. Salabakkanavar has taught this art to students who are now working in different parts of the country. Still countless students are learning this art. This is a unique art which will make you feel as if the animals or humans are present in front of you and busy doing something. Bringing the expressions out through cement and paint is not an easy task. This artists’ team has proved it. Kudos to Prof T.B. Solabakkanavar for giving such a rare and a unique rock garden to North Karnataka. We feel proud to say that it is in North Karnataka.

There is no rock garden like this in the whole world. This is a unique one with the international standards. No artist in the worlds has designed these (hand-made, not molded) countless sculptures through cement and paint. The most fascinating point is the whole garden will never expose you to the sun light, you will move in garden shade across the park without any barriers to your amusement.
