Ramesh Thakur’s Artistic Homage Highlights Humanitarian Role of Painting

Known for his live renditions of historic figures, Ramesh Thakur shifted his focus this Navratri season to a solemn cause. By turning a bustling corner of Dhanbad into an open‑air studio, he reminded the community that art extends beyond aesthetic appeal. The painting of Durga, surrounded by candles and floral offerings, symbolised a bridge between divine protection and human compassion. Thakur explained that his work aimed to amplify the voices of those who cannot speak for themselves, turning colour and form into a conduit for social solidarity and emotional support.
