EVOLUTION OF TRADITIONAL ART GENRES

The latest issue of @ecsliving is out now, and it takes you on a captivating journey through the works of four extraordinary artists- @chitrakarlok , Samundra Man Singh, @art.sushilasingh & @manishdhoju . Each artist has developed their own distinct genres and specialties, yet all are deeply connected to the traditional elements of paubha, a homegrown art form that began nearly 2000 years ago. Our art has evolved impressively, spanning from the ancient paubha tradition to neo-traditional, contemporary, and now hyperrealism styles. These artists embody this dynamic evolution, each contributing uniquely while honoring the rich heritage of paubha. Concept & Coordination: @esparshsarawagi . .

“ Not just for fitness activities, a good diet is a must for any kind of lifestyle. You need to have a balanced amount of carbs, proteins, and fat in your diet. There are diets like keto with no carbs, but I don’t think we can avoid carbs for the whole of our lives. So it’s better to opt for a balanced diet for everybody, not just athletes.”- @ne_hane Get your hands on your copy of our March-April issue to read our chat with her!
