Metal Embossing – ‘Githopadesam’

Embossing is the process of creating a three-dimensional effect on materials such as metal, cloth or paper. This effect is achieved with the application of pressure at various levels to accomplish the desired 3-D look.

About my work :

This was one of very first work of art. I made this during my college days and gifted it to my parents. In this art, Lord Krishna is giving 'Gitopadesh' to Arjuna in the battlefield. This helped Arjuna get over any dilemma he had and win the battle. This 'Gitopadesh' became the holy book of hindus named 'Bhagavat Gita'.

I once saw this art work at my neigbors when she had invited us over for a festival where ladies invite other ladies to their home and give ‘prasad’. My neighbor had done it so beautifully that I wanted to learn it and do it myself. Once I finished this, it gave me so much joy that I wanted to do more.
