These age-old tools have been instrumental in the cultivation of crops, thus preserving the heritage of rural agriculture and demonstrating the enduring connection between the people and the soil. In the rich tapestry of Uttarakhand's cultural heritage, the resilience and indomitable spirit of its people are intricately woven with the tools that have shaped their agricultural practices for generations. My painting shows Legacy of Resilience, is a celebration of these traditional farming implements, which not only embody the strength of the indigenous people of Uttarakhand but also symbolize their unbreakable connection with the land they till and the food they nurture.

Meet the Artist
BFA(2020) and MVA(2022): Specialized in painting from Graphic Era Hill University, Dehradun. My paintings focus on farming practices in Uttarakhand, highlighting the socio-cultural aspects. I use farming tools as symbols to represent the strength and resilience of the hill people. My connection to this subject comes from my grandparents who relied on farming. Despite the younger generation abandoning farming, the older generation remains emotionally attached to their land and traditional tools. I capture this emotional bond using jute fabric as canvas and integrating found objects. The connection between the people of Uttarakhand and their land is a major inspiration for my work.
