Description
The story of Bidrohi Captain Pouch [Rebel Captain Pouch] is based on academic sources and research which were discussed with the artists before they began composing the narrative poem and pattern for the scroll. Colours were prepared and the panels painted collectively by the chitrakar community over a number of days. This is the final version of the scroll photographed by the Digital Humanities team at University of Exeter.
