Biography
Rajeev Kumar (b. 1982) is a highly skilled practitioner of miniature art typical of the Kangra region of the lower Himalayan ranges of Northern India.
Though once thriving, traditional Kangra miniature painting is now hard to find. Efforts by organisations like CORD (Chinmaya Organisation for Rural Development) keep this tradition alive, inviting a new generation to explore its beauty and the spiritual stories it tells.
Rajeev Kumar has honed his skill for over 20 years and he is assisted in his efforts with research and guidance from CORD.
