Maqbool Jan; Man Behind Famous Srinagar 'Map Cloth Painting'
"The map of Srinagar is my humble attempt at highlighting the breathtaking landscape", Maqbool Jan said about his famous cloth map painting. The 56-year-old started working on the map a year ago when Basit Zargar, a photojournalist, posted pictures of the papier mâche cloth piece. “We need to spread awareness about the declining art across India and social media could be a start”, Maqbool voiced about his work.
