Bottle Gourd

Bengaluru-based urban gardeners Vijay Narasimha and his wife Vasundra Narasimha grow 26 varieties of vegetables on their terrace, under a canopy of gourds.

Krishikala is a venture spearheaded by Seema Prasad to create awareness about the art form and train rural women artisans to craft gourds into beautiful showpieces and collectibles.
