Roots

35731

These sketches are the visual echoes of my cultural roots. I have grown up listening to the stories which tell the tales of fight between right and wrong and celebrating victory of divine over evil. Stories of ascetics and sages meditating in search of enlightenment. A culture where not only humans but even animals are considered holy.
