Nandalal Bose
Postcard to Ramesh Charan Basu Majumdar from Haripura
1938
Collection: JBMRC
For the 1938 session of the Indian National Congress at Haripura, Gujarat, Gandhi had requested Nandalal to take charge of decorating the pavillion. With a team of students, Mastermoshai spent weeks in Haripura, meeting nationalist leaders, and more importantly, interacting with residents of the adjoining villages. While his posters, which were painted using natural materials, are better known, this postcard is testament to his habit of constantly sketching everything he saw.
