Über diesen Tip
Each January, usually on the first Sunday, Kumara Krupa Road closes to traffic and hundreds of artists sell their work straight from the pavement. Expect everything from small watercolors to traditional Ganjifa and Tanjore paintings, plus live portraits and food stalls. Come early to beat the crowds and wear comfortable shoes. The fair is run by the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, whose galleries are worth a look, and prices let almost any budget take a piece home.
