Drawing Bengaluru
The story of Sabha is rooted in a tradition of education and community. The building was once the Chaturveda Siddhantha Sabha School, established by the RBANM’s Educational Charities. For over a century, it was a place where generations of students were educated and where knowledge was shared. Today its a heritage structure featuring cultural events. It's a favourite sketching location for the Penciljam community, who meet at Sabha to draw the architecture, as well as the vibrant events hosted there.
Penciljam is a community that gets together to draw. We fill our sketchbooks with drawings of places, people, culture and heritage. It’s free to join, and you don’t have to be an artist – just bring a sketchbook, a pencil, and a curious mind.
The heart of the Drawing Bengaluru project is Penciljam, a community of Citizen Artists who have gathered every Sunday for the past 16 years to draw our city on location. From bustling markets to quiet colonial-era lanes, our sketchbooks have become an unintentional, yet powerful, record of Bengaluru’s constant transformation.
