Uttar Pradesh: Artist showcases Lord Krishna’s life through Rangoli art

PRAYAGRAJ: City-based Rangoli artist Ankit is grabbing attention of visitors these days after he started drawing the sketches of life cycle of Lord Krishna on the floor of the famous Maa Samaya Mandir premises, Katghar ahead of the Krishna Janmashtami.
Ankit himself decided that he would be devoting five to six hours to complete the sketches showcasing the entire life of Lord Krishna - from childhood to Geeta Updesh- and filling it with the colours to make it an attractive Rangoli art.
Through his art, Ankit focuses on glorifying seven parts of the Lord Krishna’s life, including Vasudev taking him to Gokul after birth, Krishna stealing ‘makhan’, his special love for cows, Arjun’s sarthi and Geeta Updesh.
“When I was in VIth standard, I participated in drawing and sketching competitions and later found my interest for Rangoli” said Ankit adding that Rangoli was an integral part of Indian tradition and culture and this art speaks about its energy and vigour”.
