The beautiful silk painting depicts a group of women pulling water from the well. A common morning scenario in a village is painted with water colour on silk. The coconut tree, the bullock cart, the small houses all create an ambience of a village. The painting celebrates the glory of a rural setting on silk with colour painting. Silk paintings have a timeless appeal and their elegance, style and beauty give them a high-status acceptance. The designs of silk painting can be very diverse and motifs & textures range from ethnic and coarse to intricate and refined. Silk painting is creating art on fabric with silk as the canvas.

The boy and the girl have been painted in a typical batik style creating an obvious amorous feeling between them. The beauty of the painting lies in the traditional but somewhat tedious method of dewaxing, where waxes are placed and later removed from the painting. The pattern of colours is also smart one that has given somewhat extra sparks to the painting. The artist has shown tremendous sense of colour pattern in the painting.

Two young couple are meeting in a secluded place exchanging love and affection. The male is wearing a turban on head and sherwani kurta pyjama and the lady is putting on suit. She is also holding a lotus on her hand. The background of the painting is nicely painted with the application of the method of waxing and dewaxing. A deep amorous feeling is manifest in the painting.

The nice piece of artwork paints a simple and happy-go-lucky kind of life that the Warlis of Maharashtra lead in their rural setting. The painting shows how women are working at the kitchen, how some women are carrying crops home from the fields, yet some other are fetching water from the river side. Beautiful depiction of the hustle bustle of a tribal setting is indeed catchy.

Description:

In Between Corridors is an unusual fiction book written in the form of letters, diaries, jottings and rhyme. It comes from a belief that every person leads his life as though entangled in corridors and has the right to make his or her own choices by opening the right door. This unique book is a tribute to all human beings who have, at some point, struggled to find a sense of direction, and a sense of self.

When the phenomenal success of Swami Vivekananda as a defender of Hindu faith in the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893 was known in India several meetings were held and addresses of thanks and congratulations were forwarded to him. It was to the addresses of the Hindus of Madras that he wrote his first reply but that was a clarion call to all who were interested in Hinduism or the welfare of India. In this booklet is embodied that famous reply.

Tribal people are closely intimated with nature. There is a symbiotic relationship with the nature. This kind of relationship is being depicted in the beautiful painting on the Warli tribe. The tree has been beautifully painted showing the centrality of the trees to the lives of the Warlis. Warlis are brought up on the lap of nature and nature gives them plenty of food and shade.

DESCRIPTION:

A UNIQUE SAINT SAI BABA OF SHIRDI IS A PHENOMENON. In all of India’s history, there has never been another like him. He is not a conventional saint. He wrote no critique of the Bhagvad Gita or the Upanishads or any other holy work. He made no pretensions to scholarship yet he had a profound insight into both Hindu and Islamic scriptures. He founded no ashram or peetham, wrote no tome, initiated no disciple to take over from him. He performed ‘miracles’ but in no manner of means to impress anyone, devotee or otherwise. Sai Baba in every way remains unique. Born about 20 years before the ‘Sepoy’ mutiny in the 19th century in Marathwada, the home of medieval saints of Maharashtra, he came in his late 20’s to Shirdi, an insignificant hamlet in Ahmednagar district and spent the remaining 50 years of his life there until his mahasamadhi. Today Shirdi is a centre of pilgrimage for lakhs of Sai Baba’s devotees. This book is a complete account of his life and mission.

DESCRIPTION: 

In the village of Takht Hazara, the musically gifted Deedho Ranjha struggles against family and society. He rejects the pursuit of wealth and power as the measure of a man’s worth. In distant Jhang, the spirited Heer Syal is an accomplished warrior who fearlessly challenges the norms of her community. Heer and Ranjha are destined to meet and fall in love—the former chastised for her ‘manly’ pursuits and the latter ridiculed for his lack thereof.Told from multiple perspectives, set against the lush riverbanks and rugged countryside of West Punjab, this is a wise, passionate and lyrical retelling of one of the subcontinent’s most beloved epics. A rich cast of characters—Kaido Langra, Jhang’s seemingly pious conscience-keeper; Malki, the mother of a daughter she cannot understand; Seida Khera, Heer’s hapless fiancé; a silent, watchful crow; a flock of excitable pigeons who bear witness and a philosophical goat—all play their part in bringing this stirring story to life

Description:

In Search of Sticks simultaneously challenges the intellect while surfacing raw emotional response. James, by the standards one generally uses to measure a life, is accomplished. Still, he twists. What if, in the final analysis, it ends up being as much about that which wasn't done rather than just what was acted upon? Paths are chosen. Steps are taken.
A compelling parallel story unfolds - Hope's African existence. It was emphatically stated that "God does not have favourites." But is this true? A picture is painted and its canvas is littered with the likenesses of disease and poverty and the images of those trapped in the geography of violence. Despite the forms of tragedy that present themselves, this story is full of hope. The victories are told in the small tales and the sheer numbers who do not sell their souls.

An essential part of any Hindu ritual, the lamp is being beautifully chiseled out of brass metal by the artist and the figure reveals some greater degree of smoothness.

It also contains some beautiful carvings on it.
