It has been a mesmerizing one-and-a-half-year journey of learning the beautiful and intricate art of Kerala Mural. My weekends would begin with eager anticipation—watching, listening, and learning from the ever inspiring Binish Sir. Every Saturday morning felt like a spiritual journey, as I joined the class and was transported to our Bharat Bhoomi, where Binish Sir, seated in his studio within a temple in God’s Own Country—Kerala—would passionately introduce us to this centuries-old traditional art form. With his expansive knowledge, exceptional artistic skill, and boundless energy, he brought the art of Kerala Mural to life. His deep enthusiasm for teaching often made him lose track of time, and we students, immersed in watching his graceful strokes and vibrant colors, would forget ours as well. I fondly recall several sessions where he patiently corrected each one of us multiple times, never once giving up until he saw our progress align with his expectations. Those moments were powerful reminders of how consistent practice, guided by a dedicated teacher, leads to true growth. Words fall short in expressing my gratitude for everything Binish Sir has given us—not just art techniques, but lessons in discipline, patience, and devotion to craft. Thank you Sir, for your commitment, your generosity in sharing your knowledge, and your belief in each of us. I carry forward not just what I learned, but also the inspiration to keep practicing and growing. Thank you once again, from the bottom of my heart.
