When the Katha Sagar: Ocean of Stories book was published by the Unitarian Universalist Association in 2016, the Gandhi Memorial Center's director, Srimati Karuna wanted to have an exhibition of the original illustrations. When the Sri Ramanuja book was published by the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in 2017, she brought it up again. In 2023, when the Gandhi Memorial Center published the Prayer Beads book written by her with my illustrations, she said it was a high time we had an exhibition of the all the original illustrations for the three books. So, this exhibition has been in the making for a long time and thanks to Maryland State Arts Council for their Creativity Grant, that supported me in part with the funding for the Prayer Beads illustration and the exhibition.
The exhibition opens on November 2nd at 1pm at the Gandhi Memorial Center, 4748 Western Avenue, Bethesda.
