~~Wheel of Life~~ Photo

Photographer’s Note

Shot clicked at Shilparamam, Hydrabad during "Photowalk" organised on 16th of August 2008.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shilparamam at Hyderabad is an arts and crafts village exhibiting various art forms and handicrafts of diverse artists from all over the State.
Exhibition of art does not limit itself to the artifacts, but all forms of creativity.

In sections specially provided for them, you can see craftsmen chiselling raw wood into objects of everlasting value, sculpting wonders from stone, harnessing metal into stunning images of gods and goddesses and weaving magic in cotton, silk and gold thread.

These live demonstrations of artisanship bring back to the visitor pictures of a bygone era of Dhaka muslin, Kondapalli toys, Bankura horses, gudda-guddis of Punjab, temple arts and a motley of Indian arts and crafts forms which have survived the assaults of both the industrial and cyber revolutions. In short, a visit to the village is an unforgettable spiritual experience for the visitor.

Hello Rajeev,
It is with much love that this man (very simple without doubt) has made the painting on that wheel. This work is beautiful and deserves respect. Thank you let us show it.

Very colourful wheel. I like the craftsmanship that goes into this; where I live this has unfortunately completely disappeared.

Hello Rajeev
What's Photowalk? ...seems to be an interesting idea. I'd been to a similar crafts village in Chennai & Delhi. Like how the simple bullock cart wheel has been brought to life by the lively colours...reminds me of my picture of Durga Puja from Kolkata, where a similar wheel has been so well used as a decorative object.

Hi Rajeev, this is an eye-catching photo with an interesting, tight crop. The close-up seems to bring out more colour and texture. A visually attractive shot, well done. Regards,
Ryno

Hi Rajeev
Choose a color wheel.
In Italy only in Sicily the color with color "cheerful".
The title is beautiful and we
is a common use of that "as you think.
The photo has the freshness, that perhaps I never had, while willing,
