What motivated you to think about making this splendid art?
The Kantara movie has shown the local tradition and culture of Coastal Karnataka which is also known as Tulunadu and the divine powers of the demi god “Panjurli”. The ritual of worshipping Panjurli is called “Bhooota Kola” and the makeup, costume, dance of this ritual is very unique and eye catching. I thought I need to paint this and show it to the world
How do you feel after completing any painting?
I am very happy with the result as I have added some part in the painting which was not there in the reference image including legs and leg ornaments(Gaggara). The face painting is also shown clearly with the sparkle in the eyes. The painting has gone viral in social media and very excited to know that everyone liked the painting
How much time did it take to complete?
I took around 16 hours to complete this painting
Did you get help from any another person to complete this wonderful painting?
No. I didn’t take any ones help to complete this painting.
The painting is passion or your profession and do you want to convert it into profession?
The painting is my passion currently. Yes I am planning to convert this into profession in few years

Any another painting that you made?
Yes I have made many paintings of local Tulunadu culture including Yakshagana, Cock Fight, Kambala as I like coastal Karnataka culture. Also I have made many other paintings which are exhibited in many art galleries.
I am also a freelance artist for “TARANGA” Kannada weekly magazine and my illustrations for stories are published every week.
Would you like to tell our audience about the very minor and deep things in painting that every artist need to focus on that?
The artist should study the subject before painting and focus on every minute details. I have focused on face makeup, colour, ornaments, costume, palm leaves, flowers and other minute details. The face expression is very important and I have painted eye with natural sparkle.
