CONSERVATION OF KING OF JUNGLE
India is a nation on this earth where not only gods and godesses, great souls, deities, teachers and parents are reverred. But the birds and animals chosen by the deities are worshipped too. Rat is revered as the chariot of the deity Lord Ganesha. The same way Tiger is worshipped as the chariot of Godess Durga. In ancient times in the villages and towns because of natural equilibrium humans and animals co existed peacefully. But because of ignorance of humans started destruction of healthy environment and this led to sufferings. The ignorant not only disturbed the flora and fauna but also the rivers and hills and also the king of the jungle was not spared.
Presently the meagre population of tigers are also being finished illegaly. May be the future generation will be taught about tigers the way we describe them the extinct dinosaurs. The diminishing numbers of tigers at a fast pace gave my heart a shock, because almighty has blessed me with an artist's soft heart. Hence I have taken up the brush to make the society aware of the diminishing number of tigers and the topic of my work is Conservation of the Jungle King.
Through my artwork I wish to convey the message that if the tiger is not present in physical form we may be forced to introduce it through the tiger dance. This is the very reason for which you see the tiger in my paintings. I wish to convey this message to each and every corner of India. But being born and brought up in a middle class family the limitations are to spread my work on a mass scale. Inspite of all this I am slogging so that I get success in my mission.
I am overwhelmed to learn that through Art Research inspirational art and artists are awarded fellowship. If ever offered such facility I would work whole heartedly to spread the Indian ethos through my work. I would portray my art work the world over. I would influence the intellectuals and I am confident that I will accomplish my mission. If I have ever exaggerated my feelings I tender my apologies.

Do not cut down the forests with its tigers and do not banish the tigers from the forest. The tiger perishes without the forest, and the forest perishes without its tigers. Therefore, the tigers should stand guard over the forest and the forests should protect all its tigers.
-From the Mahabharata, Udyogaparvan, 29, 47-48 (crirca 400 B.C.E.)
HOMELAND
Homeland literally means a country were an individual has taken birth and the art & culture of that country have educated & civilized the native. Receiving the enlightening knowledge of values, ethics, religion morality, art and culture from Own country, an individual becomes a debtor. Such type of debt is called social debt. The Lord of fine arts has chosen a mediocre person like me to serve our time known culture and nurturing environment.
The poaching of wild animals of some rare species will make these animals to disappear from this mortal globe. Amongst the species that may come under the category of extinct, comes the national animal of India, king of the Jungle “Big cat Tiger”. Tiger is the vehicle of “Goddess Durga” therefore during the auspicious days of Navratra, in the blessed land of Kerala, tiger folk dance is presented. A dancer paints his body alike Tiger and on the rhythm of folk musical instruments performs this dance, The same dance is also seen in Maharashtra during 10 days “Ganesh festival”. Not only in Sanaatana religion but also in Islam the Shia community individual’s performance the tiger folk dance at my place in Kamptee.
I have dedicated all my creativity and creation to environment that is tiger and tiger folk dance. Through my paintings I am tirelessly putting efforts to bring public awareness regarding ‘Save Tiger’.
As today the extinct species like Dinosaur etc are presented with the help of animation film to impart information to the present generation. I pray from the core my heart of maybe presented though animated movies. Therefore let’s join hands to support the mission “SAVE TIGER”, By God’s grace if this goal succeeds & fructifies then I will consider myself fortunate enough to see my mission accomplished.
