Atanu Ghosh said, “There was no work to do during the time of lockdown. I had a lot of painting colors with me. Suddenly, the idea of painting the whole village came into my mind. At first, the villagers allowed me to paint the exterior walls of the houses. Within two months, I painted the village with watercolors. From children to adults in the village, everyone helped me in my work.”

At present, people come from far and wide to see this village. The villagers are also very happy with Atanu’s initiative. Everyone in the village respects Atanu a lot. The village looks very beautiful. The work is highly appreciated by everyone. So, those who love art can visit this village on weekends.
