Lokamatha Mandira, Janapada Loka, Ramanagaram, Karnataka

Jackfruit has renovated the Lokamatha Mandira gallery, one of the three at Janapada Loka, a folk museum on the Bangalore-Mysore highway, with the collaboration of architect Ceejo Cyriac (www.janapadaloka.org). The project involved research and planning, budgeting, regrouping and cataloguing of objects, writing interpretive materials in Kannada and English, design of signage and fresh displays. The focus of the exhibit is on the processes and objects associated with cooking, storing, farming and animal husbandry.
