This year’s festival was a very special event as the precinct got back the black horse statue that gave the area its name. In January 2017, ‘Spirit of Kala Ghoda’ – the 25 foot high equine statue was unveiled. The bronze sculpture has been crafted by Shreehari Bhosle and designed by architect Alfaz Miller with inputs from sculptor Arzan Khambatta. An initiative by Kala Ghoda Association, this statue has finally returned to the area the symbol that once defined it but of course without the rider. The Kala Ghoda art precinct derives the name from the equestrian statue of King Edward VII seated on a black horse (kala ghoda).
The main theme of the art installations of this year was horse. The spirit of horse was interpreted in different ways. Many of these installations were interactive and were accepted and enjoyed by the overwhelmed visitors.
Kala Ghoda Art Festival – 2017 was held from 4th February to 12th February 2017. Some pictures from the festival…

You would actually think the horse was a sacred animal considering its theme everywhere practically. I like the cube installation but would have liked to see more photos or different photos.

Very inventive variations! And I like the idea of removing Edward VII from the horse and then re-installing the horse. A much better statement than simply getting rid of the whole statue.
