Md. Ayan Ali (Class VII)
MD. AYAN ALI (CLASS VII) SARALA BIRLA GYAN JYOTI, GUWAHATI My artwork relates to my wonderful land i.e. Assam situated in the northeast of India. I feel proud to have been born and brought up in a land famous world over not only for its natural beauty but also for its Bihu dance which has carved a niche for itself in the international cultural field. No less stunning is the attraction of historical monuments like Ranghar, Talatal ghar, Kamakhya temple and of course the one horned rhino which attracts tourist all over the world. So far as possible I have tried my best to portray my land in all its beauty and grandeur within my limited means.
