During the Art Mandai events, we noticed the absence of a convenient, safe, and accessible drinking water fountain within the Mandai. In response, we were delighted to donate a beautifully designed water fountain. Crafted by Pune's celebrated architect, Jayant Dharap, the fountain's design is both simple and elegant, thoughtfully created to harmonize with the Mandai's historic architecture. A drinking water station was installed by Art Mandai at Phule mandai for the use of vendors and public .
