Most of us are fascinated by the West and wish to travel abroad to see the beauty that nature has to offer. However, we often forget to look around. From lush-green trees and refreshing hills, to mesmerising monuments and beaches, India has a lot to offer in terms of scenic beauty.
Mangalore-based artist and architecture student, Shivani, beautifully captures the essence of our country through her sketches. Shivani went on a 50-day journey across India to 21 towns and made a sketch each day as part of her 50 Days, 50 Sketches project for Zostel’s Best Internship Ever programme. Here is India through her pencil:
