Some places in the world are made for inspiration. Kangra Valley, with its spectacular backdrop of the mighty Dhauladhar, the Milky Mountains, has forever been known to attract artists, the Kangra school of miniature painting being just one notable example.What Kangra was to art some 200 years ago.Andretta, a tiny village 14 km south of Palampur, is to artist in the present century.Nestling amongst the rollina plains of Kangra Valley, with a wide panorama of snowy mountains its constant backdrop, Andretta has attracted artists of many hues.The village was brought to prominence by Ms. Norah Richards, the famous writer and dramatist.Known popularly as the 'Nani of Punjabi Drama', Ms. Richards' writings exhibited her deep sensibility to life and people around her.Equally well known, and as sensitively marked, was her contemporary Sir Sobha Singh.Honored with the title of Padma Shri, Sobha Singh's paintings perhaps show the influence of the Kangra school, especially in the use of colours and their shades.Art Gallery is situated in Andhretta.
