New Delhi: Are you an artist or an art admirer? Then Andretta is the place you should visit at least once in your life. The name Andretta sounds Italian, but it is a quiet and sleepy village nestled in the Kangra valley of Himachal Pradesh.
It is a tiny village 14 km south of Palampur. Andretta nuzzles amongst the undulating plains of Kangra Valley, with a wide panorama of hoary mountains and Kangra valley has always been an attraction for artists because of in the amazing milieu of the mighty Dhauladhar- the milky mountains.
What Kangra was to art some 200 years ago; Andretta is to artists in the present century.
Andretta has attracted artists of many hues and was brought to fame by Ms. Norah Richards, the famous writer and dramatist whose writings exhibited deep sensibility to life and people around her.
