A Tale of Threads
Himachal is known as the land of gods and goddesses. “It’s said that after every kilometer there is another local deity worshiped”, Ranbir Acharya. Every village worships different Devi, Devta. Taking this as an inspiration from my trip to Naggar, a village in Himachal Pradesh, I tried to understand the 'Devi' & have tried narrating the same using Tapestry as my form. I tried understanding different attributes of Devi, the separation & Unification of the same. All the pieces together depict the amalgamation of wrath & motherly nature, Protector & Destroyer.
