Recently I visited my hometown during the rice harvesting season. Every visit to my village feels like a journey back in time, appreciating the beauty of my roots. I created this illustration as simplicity and nostalgia of the time in Konkan. Had fun documenting and drawing a lifestyle in Konkan at home. Nostalgia led me to recreate memories from my school days.

Dashavatar is today popular form of drama in the rural areas. Dashavatar is a popular traditional theatre form with a history of eight hundred years. The term Dashavatar refers to the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, the Hindu God of preservation. The performance uses bright Make-up and Costumes. It is accompanied by three musical instruments: a paddle harmonium, tabla and zanj.
