About
Adults and teens ages 13+ are invited to celebrate Diwali with a Pichwai art class on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, at 7 p.m. in the Storytime Room at the Civic Center Library, 1188 S. Livermore Ave. No previous art experience is necessary. All materials will be provided. Registration is required. Call 925-373-5505 to sign up. Participants will discover Pichwai art, a 400-year-old folk-art tradition originating in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, India. Traditionally painted on cloth using natural pigments, these intricate devotional works depict stories of Lord Krishna and often feature signature motifs such as sacred cows, lotuses and peacocks, which symbolize divine grace and purity. This program is sponsored by Friends of the Livermore Public Library.
