Eco-Friendly Lanterns made with paper

Lanterns market during Diwali is dominated by Chinese products, however those products are not eco friendly. That also does not support the Make in India Initiative. For the last 2 years, I have been making my Lanterns at home. I use paper and all material which is available easily. This is also not much time consuming. 

This year, I made the Lantern with paper, and a simple colour plate. Cones which you see are made with papers and they are stringed together. 

I wish you all a happy and safe Diwali. Cheers.

Ma Durga

Due to Covid19, we could not enjoy the Navratri with full spirit. We could not install the idol and could not perform the pooja and rituals. However, Ma Durga is in our heart. I worshipped her by creating her on the paper. In fact she appears on the paper. If you make the picture in the heart, it paints on the paper.

This art of Durga is created with mixed media on the paper. 

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्ति-रूपेण संस्थिता। नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु मातृ-रूपेण संस्थिता। नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥ 

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु चेतनेत्यभि-धीयते। नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

Giving back to the society.

Every year I conduct free workshop for poor and underprivileged children during summer and winter. I teach them to create their own art and articles. Sometimes, they make and sell to earn the livelihood. 

I believe that you can't change the world but you can change somebody's world. 

I missed this year to be with them because of Covid19. I am sure still they remember what they learn. 

   

Siporex Mural of woman

In modern days, Siporex Murals have covered the interiors and exteriors of many buildings, such as palaces, temples, tombs, museums, libraries, churches and the houses of rich art lovers. 

The art which I created depicts the story of a woman who loves herself, she is accomplished and peaceful. However she always thinks about family but also loves nature and different things in life. She is a multi-tasker and by doing this she also cares about her surroundings. She is capable, competent and matured to handle the tough situation.    

Let's hope that she gets the respect she deserves and peace of mind.
