Bharti Artist Colony Is India's first residential colony only for artists, founded by legendary Indian painter E.Kumaril Swamy in 1968.
Since E.Kumaril Swamy was a well established artist and a social reformer , it was very difficult for him to see other artists struggling for even the basic necessities like income or a roof to live under.Thus, E.Kumaril Swamy decided to provide a residential houses for the struggling artists.
E.Kumaril Swamy alloted the land for Bharti Artist Colony by the help of Ex-Governor of Delhi shree Dharma Vira and Indira Gandhi who was artist's friend and college mate in Shantiniketan college of Fine-Arts.
Colony later on became home for many eminent artists of India such as :
Umesh Bahukhndi
Kanwal Krishna (eminent painter)
Tirath Ram Azad (eminent Kathak dancer)
Jai Kishan Maharaj (Eminent Kathak dancer)
