Smriti Mehra
(Shrishti School of Art and Design)
Paper short abstract:
We highlight how Velentine's day is getting embedded in the culture of agriculture.
Paper long abstract:
Valenine's Day has now firmly established itself in the calender of urban festivals in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Superficially it remains an urban phenomenon but its roots go deep into the soil of villages on the outskirts of Bengaluru. We describe here the social networks that flowers knit between rurality and urbanity.We also highlight the innovativeness of the peasant in adapting herself/himself to the vicissitudes of global modernity.
