Saraswati Bai Rajwade was born into a poor family in the Dakshina Kannada of yore. By chance, she stepped into theatre and later into films. But all the glory that came to her unexpectedly, vanished just as suddenly. She later became the wife of a rich and high official, travelled abroad and underwent immense suffering. In her pain and loneliness, she took to books and also began to write and attained glory as a writer. In the last years of her life, she returned to a life of austerity and anonymity.
Vaidehi has collected bits and pieces from her life and wanting, presenting before us a unique tapestry. In this tapestry, Vaidehi's perceptions criss-cross with Rajwade's life and writing.
Art does not reside in the object, but in its close encounter with life. This work unfolds before us as a grand illustration of such twin narratives.
