A Hyderabad law student has written the Bhagavad Gita with 4,042 grains of rice as part of her recent project on microart.
Ramagiri Swarika said he worked for almost 150 hours to create the beautiful masterpiece.
“In my most recent work, I wrote the Bhagavad Gita on 4,042 grains of rice which took me 150 hours to finish. I work with various products to create micro arts,” Swarika quoted ANI.
Swarika, who does not use a magnifying glass for her artwork, also makes milk art, paper carvings, and has also created sesame seed artwork.
The recent artwork on grains of rice is the latest addition to her collection of 2,000 works of art, Swarika said.
Swarika says she has written the Preamble to the Constitution on hair strands, for which she was congratulated by the Governor of Telangana, Tamilisai Soundararajan.
To observe National Law Day on November 26, Swarika had last year written the preamble to the Constitution on strands of hair. He first collected the fine strands of hair and then glued them together, and then he used a fine brush and white paint to write the words of the Constitution of India.
“I have always been interested in art and music and have received many awards since my childhood. I started doing micro art for the last four years with a drawing of Lord Ganesha on a grain of rice, then the English alphabet on a single grain of rice, ”Ramagiri told ANI.
The Hyderabadi artist also received the Rashtriya Puraskar Award from the North Delhi Cultural Academy and was identified as the first young micro-artist.
“I received the International Order Record Book in 2017 and in 2019 received a national award from the North Delhi Cultural Academy. So far I have worked in 2000 more micro arts, ”Swarika said.
Swarika said she wanted to become a judge and be an inspiration to many women.
The concept of microart has become very popular in recent years among artists who carve small but precise pieces of art on tiny surfaces including grain, dal, chalk. They often create tiny figures out of graphite and chalk and other delicate surfaces as well. A couple of years ago, an artist from Kerala Thomas Jacob earned a lot of praise on social media when he carved tiny figurines of Kerala fishermen as a tribute to those who rescued hundreds during the floods.
