      The miniatures are so precise and beautiful in real too. This art form is an excellent initiative by Deepika and she has full support from her husband Deepak. A couple interested in preserving and propagating India's art and culture.

      Aren't they? Renu, These miniatures are all hand made with ecofriendly materials like corrugated paper from biscuit dabbasand other materials. What's more they never charge apenny for the show. A rarity in today's commercial world.
