An exhibition features traditional Paubha artworks produced by participants who completed a 15-day intensive workshop alongside an advanced training course.

Participants explored complex iconographies and techniques through structured sessions, with advanced students continuing their education under the guidance of Narendra Malla. Organisers noted that the extended courses developed naturally as learners expressed a desire to delve deeper into the intricacies of the craft after completing the introductory workshop. The display brings together distinct works reflecting deep-rooted religious and cultural themes, offering a platform for contemporary practitioners to present their interpretations of ancient visual traditions. Observers noted that the showcase highlights the growing interest among modern learners in preserving and engaging with heritage artistic practices through accessible educational formats.
