Assam the gateway to North east India! It is so vast and wide but unique and different too. Assam and one horned rhinoceros go hand in hand. Kaziranga is world famous for this vulnerable unique animal. Assam has plenty of paddy fields and cuisines unique to its different tribes. Japi is a traditional symbol of Assamese folk culture used by the farmers. Gamosa means ‘something to wipe the body with’. Guests are welcomed with the offering of gamosa. Xorai, a bell-metal object, is an offering tray with a stand at the bottom.
'Majestic' and 'Tiger', these words can be used in the same breath. A look at them and the strength can be felt even in their gaze. I tried to paint one of these majestic eye catching look on a wall in St Francis school, Kothakuthi.
Did you know the Macaws have two toes in front and two behind, allowing maximum grip? They can outlive its owners. This is a wall art painted in St Francis school Kothakuthi.
African Forest elephants were thought to be a subspecies of the African elephant. Did you know that they have straighter tusks and more rounded ears than Savannah elephants? Forest elephants have a craving for salt. Elephants are highly social and intelligent creatures. Did you know the elephants pass on their knowledge to the younger ones? The matriarch of the herd carries the knowledge of the elders and shares all the essential. Elephants powder themselves with mud and sand just after a bathe...that is there way of applying sunscreen. This fascinating animal always attracts me.

Did you know that Lions are nocturnal animals? Lions mane can grow up to 16 cm long and it is a sign of its power and dominance. The mane gets darker with age and it helps prevent them from injuries too. It always catches my eye to see the king of the jungle.

Imagine a bunny with wings.. or earth with wings. Will you protect it and provide for it or will you snatch it and tear it apart? Can my hand be an umbilical cord to nature and it inhabitants? What kind of hand can we be?
