If art and local culture are of interest to you, this is a must visit. Artist Venki Palimar is a talented artist from the coastal area and captures local culture and everyday life in his sculptures. The gallery pieces are for viewing and also sale. He also makes custom pieces. He is an art teacher in the local school and was free on the Sunday I visited. He conducted an impromptu workshop and I was able to create a small terracotta artwork. But this was an exception as he is usually busy working on his own creations. It is a treat for photography enthusiasts to capture this gallery housed in a Mangalore tiled building. There was no entry fee and I bought a couple of pieces from him ideal for inddors and outdoors. the road to the gallery is a little narrow and it would be ideal to leave the vehicle on the main road and walk for five minutes to reach the gallery. But a skilled driver can easily get an innova on this road. Own transport is ideal as you might end up buying some lovely sculptures.
