A fan’s tribute to General Rawat
The Hindu
Rajendran Vadakkepadath sketches the late CDS in his trademark style
Shock and grief overwhelmed leaf artist Rajendran Vadakkepadath when the news about the tragic death of India’s first Chief of Defence Staff, General Bipin Rawat, in a helicopter crash near Coonoor came on Wednesday afternoon.
A fan of General Rawat, Mr. Rajendran had been mulling the idea of sketching the General in his trademark plantain leaf, an artistic process that would take many days.
With a sunken heart, Mr. Rajendran went out of his house and plucked a full-grown leaf of a banyan tree next to his house. His artistic fingers did not rest until he gave life to his military hero on the leaf.
