Odisha, famous for its art, culture, dance, tourist places, dishes ; but among this counting one important traditional hand painting is still hidden from us.
Raghurajpur village in Odisha ,is the only place where every villager is an artists and is continuing their meticulously hand painting art from a generation, but the art is grossly under appreciation.
Here, the art and painting are made on clothes, paper, wood, house and sculpture of god and toys are made and painted by hand. The art takes from 5 days to 1 month to get complete. In the village , we can find all age group of people, i.e., 5 years old baby to 60 year old man busy in painting, only just to keep the art alive and to earn money.
While painting you will find
a pleasant and calm smile on their face, but they have a dark hidden story behind it. As they deal with third party to sell their painting, they earn very less money , i.e., their earning ranges between 4000 to 8000 rupees, on the other hand, in market the dealer sells at 30,000 to 50,000 amount. In return of their hard work they get a handful of money and suffers form bad health problem like of eyes and hand.
It’s so a shame of our government who doesn't pay attention towards them.
So to bring a change to their live and to popularize their painting, I join hand with the "Indiblogger" team , to take their art to a global audience and cut out the middlemen who exploit them, and also appeals to everyone kindly promote their painting , to get appreciation through out the world for their skills.
