@sathyashrii It becomes impossible for me to get the audience interested in my art and to acquire orders or collaborations. Hence your credits are crucial for me. Hope you understand.

"My name is Parnavi Bangar, and I run an art project called Reminiscing History. I’m from Thane, Maharashtra, and this journey started when I first visited Hampi. The ruins there, so abundant and ancient, intrigued me in a way I never expected. It was the first time I realized I could imagine the stories behind those structures. Since that visit, I haven't stopped-it's been over three years now, and every day I get more connected to this world of historical architecture.

Art has been my passion since childhood. While I always leaned towards Fine Arts, I eventually pursued Architecture. I’m glad I did because it allowed me to merge both interests. I often blend my love for art with my architectural knowledge, creating detailed illustrations of historic ruins.

My parents love to travel, and their spiritual inclination sparked a curiosity in me about culture and heritage. Growing up in Maharashtra, I was fortunate to see historic sites like the Jogeshwari Caves, which are hidden gems amidst the urban landscape. But Raigad Fort holds a special place in my heart. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was someone we admired deeply growing up, and Raigad was the perfect place to begin my work on forts. It’s a place I feel personally attached to.

I began with Hampi, creating 21 illustrations of the 1600+ ruins there. Every visit makes me feel like I’m lost in its history, and I love imagining the past. The next big project was Raigad Fort. I worked at several different locations there, and two of them are now displayed at the Living Temple art show-this is my first exhibition, marking a huge step in my career.

I studied Architecture at Bharati Vidyapeeth, after a foundation year in art. I was drawn to the humanities side of architecture, which led me to pursue a certificate in Conservation. My process of researching ruins involves visiting the site, reading the historical context, and understanding architectural typology, the time period, and the builders. I then go on to explore indirect connections-what similar structures existed in other parts of India at the same time.

Temple architecture, in particular, fascinates me. I’ve always been curious about how the design of temples is connected to Hindu philosophy. Take for example the journey inside a temple. The gopuram (tower) often leads you through a dark space, and as you move forward, you enter open courtyards and semi-closed spaces, eventually reaching the Garbha Griya (sanctum). This design isn't just physical; it's meant to guide your mind towards inner reflection. Some temples even have underground sanctums, creating an intimate space for meditation. These architectural choices align with the philosophy of Tat Tvam Asi-"You are That." The space within the temple naturally guides you to reflect on your own self.

Most of my work starts hand-drafted before I digitize it. Recently, I've also worked on digital pieces using an iPad. My travels have taken me to places like Nepal, Ambernath, Sarnath, and Lepakshi. Currently, I’m working on an ongoing project around Thanjavur Temple, which I plan to post soon.

Along with illustrations, I’ve also created installations. Tatva Drishti is my first installation piece. It explores the connection between space, architecture, and philosophy. I’m fascinated by how a temple’s design can pull you into self-reflection, almost as if it were creating a gravitational pull, like a black hole. This experience of introspection is integral to my work.

I wouldn’t have made it this far without the support of my family and my Instagram family, who have been my constant source of encouragement. While working as an architect, I balance my creative work with my professional life, and I know the journey ahead is full of challenges. But it’s worth it. I strive to bring my passion for art and architecture to life."

Thank you for sharing but it will only help me as an artist if you give me credit, mention me while reposting it and give me a chance to do such artwork further. If you don't do that I will never get the exposure I deserve.
