作品解説
Once upon a time there was a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing the tortoise for its slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise answered back: “Who do you think you are? There’s no denying you’re swift, but even you can be beaten!” The hare squealed with laughter. “Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! I bet there’s nobody in the world that can win against me, I am so fast. Now, why don’t you try?”Annoyed by such bragging, the tortoise accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and the next day at dawn they stood at the starting line. The hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged off slowly. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. “Take your time!” he said. “I’ll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute.” The hare woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the tortoise. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the hare decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to munch some cabbage he had noticed in a nearby field. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a careless glance at the tortoise, now halfway along the course, he decided to have another snooze before flashing past the winning post. And smiling at the thought of the look on the tortoise’s face when it saw the hare speed by, he fell fast asleep and was soon snoring happily. The sun started to sink, below the horizon, and the tortoise, who had been plodding towards the winning post since morning, was scarcely a yard from the finish. At that very point, the hare woke with a jolt. He could see the tortoise a speck in the distance and away he dashed. He leapt and bounded at great pace, his tongue lolling, and gasping for breath. Just a little more and he’d be first at the finish. But the hare’s last leap was just too late, for the tortoise had beaten him to the winning post. Poor hare! Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the tortoise who was smiling silently at him. “Slow and steady does it every time!” he said.

Mohan Kumar Verma: Preserving the Legacy of Sanjhi Art
Mohan Kumar Verma’s journey into the captivating world of Sanjhi art began in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, a region steeped in Hindu mythology and renowned for its vibrant artistic traditions. Born in 1971, Verma's fascination with this ancient craft stemmed from his grandfather, Ram Bahadur Singh—a courageous freedom fighter who instilled in him a deep appreciation for heritage and craftsmanship. From humble beginnings as a young boy experimenting with paper stencils, Verma has blossomed into one of the few remaining custodians of Sanjhi, diligently upholding its intricate techniques and storytelling prowess across generations.- Early Influences: Verma’s formative years were marked by exposure to traditional Hindu folklore and artistic practices prevalent in Mathura and Vrindavan—the twin cities revered as Krishna's birthplace. These influences profoundly shaped his understanding of narrative art and the symbolic significance embedded within visual representations.
- The Birth of Sanjhi: The Sanjhi technique itself emerged from ritualistic traditions surrounding dusk (Sanjh) in temples, where rangolis—elaborate floral patterns—were unveiled with chanting at twilight. This practice inspired Verma to capture the essence of Krishna tales through miniature paper stencils, meticulously crafted using tiny scissors and imbued with symbolic motifs.
- Technique & Craftsmanship: Verma’s mastery lies in his ability to transform ordinary paper into extraordinary artworks. He employs a painstaking process involving precise cutting of stencils—often painstakingly designed by hand—followed by transferring the images onto paper surfaces using colored pigments, flowers or stones. The resulting Sanjhi prints are characterized by their delicate designs and captivating picture motifs, primarily depicting narratives from Krishna’s life cycle.
Recognition & Achievements
Verma's dedication to preserving Sanjhi art has garnered considerable acclaim. Notably, he was honored with the National Award bestowed by the Government of India in 2021—a testament to his unwavering commitment and contribution to Indian folk art. This prestigious accolade solidified his position as a leading figure in promoting this unique craft form both nationally and internationally. Furthermore, Verma actively engages in teaching workshops and exhibitions, disseminating knowledge about Sanjhi and fostering appreciation for its artistic heritage among aspiring artisans and enthusiasts alike.Contemporary Interpretations & Artistic Evolution
Recognizing the importance of adapting tradition to resonate with modern sensibilities, Verma has begun experimenting with incorporating elements like mirrors and frames into his Sanjhi designs—a deliberate effort to elevate the craft’s aesthetic appeal while retaining its core narrative essence. His ongoing collaborations with institutions such as Craft Village underscore his commitment to fostering artistic dialogue and ensuring that Sanjhi continues to thrive in the 21st century.Historical Significance & Legacy
Sanjhi art represents more than just a decorative craft; it embodies centuries of Hindu storytelling tradition—a visual chronicle of Krishna’s divine life and its associated myths and legends. Mohan Kumar Verma stands as a beacon of cultural preservation, safeguarding this invaluable heritage for future generations. His tireless efforts to revive Sanjhi and inspire artistic innovation serve as an inspiration to artisans across India and contribute significantly to the rich tapestry of Indian folk art—a testament to the enduring power of craftsmanship and storytelling.
