Illustrations inspired from my recent India trip.
Panna Meena Ka Kund (first artwork) - a sixteenth-century stepwell in amer fort (sub-city of jaipur). as half of rajasthan state is on dry desert soil, panna meena was built so the people of amer could collect water during the dry season.
Hanuman in Jodhpur (second artwork) - I made an illustration inspired by this children's storybook I found at Mehragarh. The book narrates the legendary story of the Ramayana, focusing on Hanuman's encounter with Rama, Sita, and Ravana. the visuals of this book are based on the original seventeenth-century Ramayana paintings from the collection of the Mehrangarh museum, showcasing the highly intricate art of Rajasthan, which is an important part of the cultural heritage India
