"""""""Haripura posters by Nandalal capture moments of everyday Indian village life and culture. This poster is one of many examples of acute observation of his surrounding in which he has depicted a woman playing '
manjira
' (a traditional percussion instrument from India. In its simplest form, it consists of a pair of small hand cymbals). The female figure is filled with action and expressive of her mood and character, executed with vibrant earthy colours and spontaneous, energetic contouring lines which aptly limn the figure with the artist's personal sensibilities toward Indian folk arts."""""""
