Pratiyogita Singh, the founder of Chitrasara, is a fashion designer by training, an artist by instinct, and a quiet observer of India’s living traditions.
She holds a Master’s degree in Fashion Designing, but her journey with art has never been limited to classrooms or studios. Over the years, her work has grown through travel, field research, and direct conversations with local artists across different regions of India. She believes that Indian art cannot be fully understood from books alone. It has to be lived, listened to, and learned at its source.
Her practice is deeply rooted in ground level research. She has spent time understanding traditional art forms by working closely with folk and regional artists, learning not just the techniques but also the cultural context, rituals, and stories that surround them. This process has shaped her belief that art is not decoration, but memory, identity, and resistance against forgetting.
Pratiyogita works extensively with Mandala, Mandana, Madhubani, and Pichwai art. Her approach respects traditional forms while allowing space for personal interpretation. Precision, patience, and inner stillness are central to her creative process.
Beyond visual art, she is also a poet and a painter. Writing and painting often flow together in her work, each informing the other. For her, creativity is not about output alone, but about awareness and presence.
Chitrasara was born from this philosophy. Through the café, she hopes to create a space where people can encounter Indian art in an intimate, unhurried way. A place where art is not distant or academic, but something you can sit with, learn about, and experience with your own hands.
Her work continues to focus on preserving and sharing Indian art forms by bringing them into everyday life, conversations, and quiet moments of creation.
