Puram Colony Bhupatwala in the holy city

in Kumhar Sahi in Cuttak District of Orissa
(India) From the childhood I saw my parents to
making statues (murti). In the locality in which
we used to reside is the locality famous for
statue making streets. In education field I took
education only up to lllrd standard and
afterwords from that point of life I started
making statues in the childhood . I used to make
statues of dolls and god -godess . In the age of
26 I left my home after getting my first
appointment with Bhartiya Adim Jati Sangh and
started my life as Professional Sculpture .
After leaving my homeland in the span of 14
years of time I worked at various places with
various peoples and institutions. I made lot of
statues which are situated in various parts of
india. In the year 1992 I came to northern India
and got my first appointment at Shri Jai Ram
Ashram Haridwar , where I made my first big
statue of Sumudra Manthan which had a dimension
of 50 x15 feet. Words fails to describe this
work which is only to be seen to be believed.
After making this Sculpture I got very much
praise from all over the world and after that
with the grace of god lot of orders from various
part of India and abroad came to me for various
type of statues, which I completed successfully
& I started residing in Haridwar permanently

My whole family supports me in the statue making
work . All of my sons have best professional
skills in the field of statue making art or one
can say the art of statue making is in our blood
I pray to God that all the members of my family
will work always with this honestly and
sincerity and will lighten my name in the word
of statue making & sculpture.
