Paddy Art

Several videos by farmers growing these unique designs went viral on Twitter. So we collect two of the best and speak to Srikant Ingalhaikar from Pune - an engineer turned farmer who introduced Japan's Tanbo art (paddy art) to India.

A Pune-based mechanical engineer and industrialist, Shrikant Ingalhalikar has been creating detailed tableaus out of thousands of coloured paddy shoots since 2016 and aims to continue doing so.

Sometimes simple, while at other times intricate and thought-provoking, what truly needs to be celebrated is the vision of these artists, that encases random objects in narrative frames and whole new perspectives!
