Lakshmi Aayi Hai - A Short Claymation Film

Lakshmi Aayi Hai is a short claymation film created by Prof. Swati Agarwal, who is known for her contributions to animation and storytelling through the medium of stop-motion. The film uses claymation, a technique where clay figures are animated through frame-by-frame photography, to tell its story. The film is not only an example of the creative potential of claymation but also reflects cultural and societal values through an animated format. It offers an accessible way to engage audiences, especially children, with important themes like prosperity and celebration, often linked to Indian festivals like Diwali, where the goddess Lakshmi is worshipped.
