Prime Minister Modi commended the Telangana Government for providing opportunities to weavers and artisans, enabling them to pursue their crafts and livelihoods.
Telangana: Artist Hari Prasad, hailing from Rajanna Sircilla in Telangana, has exhibited his intricate craftsmanship by weaving the likenesses of G20 leaders from various countries onto a piece of fabric. This fabric, measuring approximately 2 meters in length, proudly displays both the Indian Emblem and the Group of 20 logo. Among the artistic elements, PM Modi’s image and the word ‘Namaste’ are intricately woven in Hindi font. Hari Prasad has expressed his aspiration to present his remarkable artwork to the Prime Minister.
Last year, when India held the presidency of the Group of 20, Prasad demonstrated his talent by weaving the G20 logo onto a piece of fabric. This work garnered recognition from Prime Minister Narendra Modi during one of his radio show episodes, ‘Mann ki Baat.’
Prime Minister Modi commended the Telangana Government for providing opportunities to weavers and artisans, enabling them to pursue their crafts and livelihoods.
The two-meter-long cloth, crafted by Hari Prasad, required over a week to complete.
