A law student from Hyderabad, who is also a micro artist, has carved the entire Bhagavad Gita on rice grains. Ramagiri Swarika has written the entire Bhagavad Gita on 4042 rice grains in 150 hours. Swarika, who is said to be the first female micro artist of the country, reckoned that she had already created 2,000 artworks apart from this.
She added that she also does milk art, paper carvings and has drawn on sesame seeds too, among many other products. In the past, Swarika wrote the Preamble of the Constitution on hair strands for which she was felicitated by the Governor of Telangana, Tamilisai Soundararajan.
“In my most recent work, I have written the Bhagavad Gita on 4,042 rice grains which took 150 hours to finish. I work with various products to create micro arts,” said Swarika, who does not use a magnifying glass for her micro artwork.
Talking about her career in micro art, she said that she was always interested in art and music and had received multiple awards since childhood. “I started doing micro art from the last four years with a drawing of Lord Ganesha on a rice grain, then the English alphabet on a single rice grain.”
