Beauty is God Himself

Our ancestors were amazing artists. They had this remarkable ingenuity of turning everything into something BEAUTIFUL. Every space (walls, floors…), every utilitarian object (pots, brooms, baskets…) was given a touch of fine art by embellishing it with paintings, carvings, etchings …

Nothing was left untouched by the artistic hand! Not even the cow dung heap!! In Rajasthan, you can still see some of those most aesthetic cow dung stacks built by women. Dried flaps are piled up, then to prevent snakes and other pests from creeping into the heap, a paste of fresh cow dung and water is applied all around to give the bitora a smooth finish in which beautiful decorative motives are drawn.

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” Osho
