The COVID-19 induced lockdown caused hardship to many by staying days at home without much activity.

Nevertheless, many uncovered so many talents hidden in them.

This lockdown provided an opportunity for those who lost their daily routine to focus on their interests and restart them.

Singing, dancing, cooking, painting, etc., many of them preferred their favourite hobbies and lightened their minds and refreshed themselves. Similarly, a unique talent from Kasargod has quietly emerged during the lockdown.

Bharat Acharya, a resident of Kumble in Kasaragod district, is not a professional painter. He is a career tailor.

But when work dwindled, Bharat shifted towards his interest and has started a new trend.

When Bharat was struck by the need to do something special in his spare time he started painting. Then his eyes fell upon the empty bottles in his house. He cleaned them and using Acrylic paints has painted over 40 different images on the bottles.

Bharat then put his dynamic creativity to work. He clicked photos of his painted bottles around landscapes such as fire in the background, around leaves etc., and attracted the attention of his friends and family by sharing the clicks with them.

Demands for his painted bottles can be testified by the fact that many of his works are now decorating office tables and house showcases.

If he continues this artistic trend along with his tailoring career, there is no doubt that Bharat Acharya will become a demanding artist.

Here are some samples of Bharat’s bottle finesse:
