About Artist :- Rohit was also very young master craft man the traditional art of miniature carving from his father. Unlike his brother, Rohit is still studying. Although near graduation, he cannot dedicate to carving full-time just yet. He does, however, have a record in the Indian Book of Records for making a wooden house-fly and some national and local records for the same piece. In order to get his work seen, he participates in national and some local art and craft exhibitions. Rohit tells us: “I like miniature work in my art and we – the Jangids – are the only people who make these kind of carving products with scenes in flipped lids. All scenes have their own story.” Rohit loves it when people are surprised as he shows them his work and then he opens the lids, to scenes they don’t Mahesh’s sitar carving wood Rohit Jangid expect to see in such tiny shells. “Miniature carving involves engraving the wood on the contours of the design with the utmost care. We make many of our own small tools according to our needs: small iron sticks, knives, chisels and some tools for filing,” he tells us. Looking to the future, he continues: “We work at home, so I will definitely teach this work to my future children and then, if they want to go with any other profession, I will support them.” Rohit tells us that he also had the choice to take another profession, but he picked carving for his life’s work. He feels that if people are forced to do a profession they can’t do to their best ability, it’s best to teach them a skill and then they can continue the work if they want. Should his children want to do otherwise, Rohit tells us he will always be there to support them.
