1. Canvas: The Story of Ramayan
A tale that changed the dynamics of India forever. It all began in the kingdom of King Dasharatha. Among his four sons, his oldest son Rama was rightly obliged to be the next king.
His stepmother wanted her son to be the king so she convinced King Dashrath to exile Rama. His brother, Lakshman and his wife, Sita, insisted on accompanying him.
As they were living in their forest, Sita was kidnapped by a demon called Ravan who was in the form of a sage. Rama with his brother, and Hanuman began the journey to rescue Maa Sita from Ravan.
Diwali is celebrated on the day when Ram, Laxman and Sita step back home in Ayodhya. The people of Ayodhya celebrated their return by cleaning their houses and keeping oil lamps.
It’s a legend that good always triumphs over evil. To incorporate this legendary tale in your homes forever, a canvas can perfectly embody a tale of all times.

‘Bandichor diwas’ translates to ‘prisoner release day’. Jahangir wrongfully imprisoned the sixth guru of Sikhs, Guru Hargobind. As he was about to be released, he insisted the other 52 jailed princes be released as well.
Furthermore, he was conditioned they would be allowed if they could hold onto Guru’s cloak. To outwit the emperor, he requested a cloak with 52 threads.
The Golden Temple was decorated with oil lamps, and candles on his return. Since that day, ‘Bandhi Chor Diwas’ has been celebrated. It is one of many stories that teach compassion and kindness towards others regardless of their caste, religion or gender.
