Sachitra - Himalayan Monal

The Himalayan Monal, iridescent yet resilient, reflects the rich biodiversity of the alpine forests of Uttarakhand. Pichhaura, traditionally worn during sacred rituals, signifies protection, continuity, and a deep sense of belonging. Rendered through a Kalighat Patachitra inspired visual language, the artwork weaves together colour, reverence, and the intimate relationship between the mountain landscapes and the cultures that have evolved alongside them, with a message of hope—diversity, when cherished, becomes strength.
