#NicholasRoerich (1874-1947) was born in Russia and was already famous worldwide when choosing Kullu, Himachal Pradesh as his home. He lived there for about forty years, and local still remembers him as #Maharshi.
Among his follower, he is known for the vibrant colour of his painting and theological belief. All of his family members are world-famous in their own right (a planet is named after the family as 4426 Roerich, His son Svetoslav (1904-1993) was Padma awarded and has a Bollywood collection)
The philosophy of Nicholas Roerich has shaped many of my thought processes, and his famous Painting series Sancta has a particular link to my Assamese book Singhadwar-সিংহদ্বাৰ - a chronicle of parallel stories, was published in 2015. It also received the prestigious Munin Barkotoki literary award in 2016, but soon the book went out of print. After a gap of six years, the 2nd edition of the book is about to release and on this occasion, here is a video regarding Roerich’s #Sancta (a series of six paintings he exhibited in Chicago in 1923 ) and its link to #Singhadwar for my English Only readers. P.S :Assamese version would follow soon
