This project highlights the often-overlooked significance of the Government Museum, Mathura, in enriching the city’s cultural and tourist experience. While Mathura is widely known for its temples and association with Lord Krishna, many visitors remain unaware of the museum’s valuable collection of historical sculptures and artifacts. The project aims to raise awareness about the museum’s heritage through accessible and engaging mediums, encouraging visitors to appreciate its historical importance alongside the city’s religious sites. By doing so, it seeks to transform the museum from a hidden gem into a recognized and integral part of Mathura’s cultural identity.

This project involves extensive research and creative work to illustrate the narratives carved into the Elephanta Caves. Through both primary and secondary research, the project aims to produce a series of five illustrations, each depicting key scenes from the Shiva-Parvati stories. These illustrations will be integrated into an immersive display designed to enhance viewer engagement and understanding of the stories and the bond between them. While visitors often perceive these sites as representations of Hindu gods and their stories, my goal is to present these sculptures from a different perspective. I intend to create an environment where I can interpret these sculptures from my viewpoint, highlighting what we can learn from the Elephanta Cave environment. historical and cultural contexts.
