Janmashtami was observed yesterday. On this occasion, massive celebrations were organised with great enthusiasm in the district of Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. Children were seen dressed like Lord Krishna and Radha, while they visited temples with their parents. Special cultural programs were organised, making the celebration more memorable. Amid this, one unique artwork created by an artist stood out as a perfect example of devotion towards Lord Krishna. Nalini Manasani, an artist from Mantralayam Mandal of Kurnool district, has left everyone surprised by making a miniature statue of Lord Krishna. The size of the artwork is just 1 cm. According to a report by Local 18, Nalini has been passionate about micro art since a very young age. She gradually developed an interest in this field and began to create miniature sculptures of deities and temples using things like pencil stubs and chalk pieces. She has gained immense popularity in the area for her talent.
Nalini started to take this professionally around 9 years ago. In such a long span, she has created numerous artworks. With her talent, she has also earned a place in the Guinness World Records. In a bid to showcase her devotion towards Lord Krishna, Nalini crafted a deity of the god on a graphite pencil, measuring 1 cm in length and 8 mm in width. She reportedly completed the full work in just 4 hours.
While talking to Local 18, she said, “I have been fascinated by art from a very young age. I especially loved painting and creating miniature sculptures. This passion towards art inspired me to pursue this professionally. I have been doing this for the last nine years. Making this piece on this auspicious day is really special for me.” Nalini also mentioned that she had previously created a model of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir using chalk pieces. Her work on the day of Janmashtami was highly praised by the locals.
