A craftsman in India, Govind is passionate about preserving ancient art and culture. He uses a unique 'Panja' to create durries from camel hair, a traditional method used for this purpose. He believes that modernization is neglecting the importance of ancient art, leading to poverty and unemployment.

Govind Ram Prajapat is a craftsman who makes durries from camel hair using a unique ‘Panja’ specially used for the purpose. He has been carrying forward his family business for the past seven years.

Govind laments that though we are always in search of uniqueness and prosperity, we don’t respect the art and culture India is blessed with. He is passionate about allowing ancient art to flourish and prosper, but due to modernization, people are completely neglecting this, and that is the only reason people like him are facing poverty.

Govind's main aim is to let the arts and artifacts of his ancestors gain recognition, which will surely give him employment as well as the happiness of saving their culture from vanishing. The blessing given to him by his forefathers is his ultimate strength, which boosts him to always achieve the needful.

Govind explains that his work requires more and more practice. Govind gets the utmost happiness from doing this work, so much so that he loves doing it. He thinks that when your profession becomes interlinked with what you love, this can work wonders.

His ancestors are his role models, and their blessings are his strength. Govind says that his artwork requires 100 percent consistency, adequacy, and accuracy. It is thread-specific, and all its 'bunaai kadhai, as stated by him, requires very much consistency and effort from his side.

Sharing his pandemic experience, Govind says that the lockdown affected them very much as their stocks piled up. But now things are becoming normal again, and he has started receiving orders. He says he can also train newcomers how to use the ‘panja’ and make beautiful durries.

Concluding with his achievements, Govind shares that he has won a district-level prize for his products. He wants everyone to respect the ancient culture and the art practices and to let them flourish.
