Description

In Alpana Ahuja’s brand new Padhchinh collection of 2018 sees her working with 3 new elephants, but Phoolkali remains her favourite co artist!
Phoolkali knows her job, she is patient and stays calm, placing her foot exactly where her mahout guides it to.
This Padhchinh in a mix of blue/green background with light orange and red background with darker footprints. There are 5 Phoolkali footprints on this scroll. There aren't many of these scrolls that exist so it's truly a unique and rare item! 


About the artist:


Singapore based Artist Alpana Ahuja supports Wildlife SOS, by collaborating with the rescued elephants and creating the ‘Padhchinh’ (footprint in Sanskrit) series of paintings.
Started in 2013, this collaboration has raised much needed funds for the elephants.
Gentle Elephant Phoolkali was the first co artist and over the years many elephants like Lakshmi, Wally, Suraj, Mohan and Gajraj  have participated.



This year Alpana presents for the first time footprints of two very special elephants- Raju and Kalpana! 
The new collection is also made with an eco-friendly range of paints, so the run offs from the feet of the elephants is not polluting the earth at the ECCC (Elephant Care and Conservation Center)
