A well known artist from Purnia in Bihar, Kishore Kumar Rai, popularly recognized as Gullu Da, has crafted a distinctive painting to mark the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His artwork intricately weaves together spiritual tradition and national pride, catching widespread attention across online platforms.
Blending Lord Vishwakarma and the Map of India
The core concept behind the artwork stems from the unique calendar alignment on September 17, which marks both Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday and Vishwakarma Puja. Inspired by this coincidence, Gullu Da conceptualized a ceremonial visual representation. In the painting, Lord Vishwakarma, the deity of craftsmanship and architecture, is depicted riding a majestic elephant while writing "Happy Birthday to PM Modi Ji" in gleaming golden letters across the map of India.
Three Days of Labor and Twelve Vibrant Watercolors
Executing this intricate piece required precise technique and significant dedication. The painter blended twelve distinct watercolor shades to achieve the desired visual depth and color balance. It took three full days of continuous hard work for Gullu Da to complete the artwork, paying careful attention to every line, shade, and golden letter.
Inspiration from the 'Viksit Bharat' Vision
Explaining his motivation, Gullu Da shared his deep appreciation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and ongoing initiatives. He highlighted the vision of 'Viksit Bharat' as a guiding force behind national progress. According to the artist, the occurrence of Vishwakarma Puja on the exact same date as the Prime Minister's birthday represents a harmonious omen, which he sought to capture through his canvas.
Warm Reception on Digital Platforms
Once completed, images of the painting circulated across social media, where art enthusiasts and well wishers praised the artist's dedication. Supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and local residents in Purnia highlighted the innovative theme and meticulous effort involved. The artistic creation stands as a celebrated tribute connecting local creative expression with a national occasion.
