What Khurki this? Illustrator redefines meaning of diversity in Incredible India!

0

India known for its rich culture and heritage is home to over billion people with different religion and language. We often term it as unity in diversity seeing people coming from different caste, creed and religion. Perfectly proving the fact that Diversity is yet another word for Incredible India. Just that we have our own way of understanding this diversity. One such visionary artist’s pursuit in documenting the diversity of India in terms of its architecture, lifestyle, festivals, culture and mixing it with natural landscapes has given birth to the 100 days project or #100daysofincredibleindiabyinktrails.
