The mural, commissioned by the KVIC, was put together by 75 potters from across the country. A workshop was organized in Ahmedabad to educate potters on this technique.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday inaugurated a grand wall mural of Mahatma Gandhi made from 2,975 clay kulhads (earthen cups) weighing around 900 kgs at Sabarmati Riverfront, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) said.
About 2,975 glazed kuldas were also produced during the workshop using which this mural of the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi was made. Each kulhad in the mural is 75 mm in diameter and 90 mm in height.
This mural of Mahatma Gandhi, installed at the River Front House in Ahmedabad, has become a new center of attraction for the citizens and tourists of the city.
The mural is the second of its kind in the country, the KVIC official said, adding that the first one is installed at Palika Kendra in New Delhi.
