Friends I am sharing a
very different or a historical visit of my art journey with you today by this post . I was in master education in that time I were
received a invitation of a national art camp from Vagad art society . That
society member Yatin Upadhyay and Artist Chintan upadhyay was invited me as a
artist for participation . that camp was
organized in village bory city Baswada
Rajasthan . in mid of that art workshop
. one day I were visited to Village Arthuna . I were went there with my still
camera .

Artist Yatin Upadhyay and
Artist Chintan Upadhyay told me , yogendra you must visit to Arthuna Village . so I were went there for visit. In Arthuna village , There I were saw lots of dooms but that was not natural , that
was created by humans. Artist Yatin
Upadhyay was told me about Arthuna and that’s visit matter , he was said yogendra you can see lots of hidden temple in
village Arthuna when you visit .
In village Arthuna I saw many damaged temple
was there . and I saw a very senior craft man was working there on a stone for
conservation of that temples . I saw many crafted and historical art work in form of temple was really hidden
in dooms .
There I were talked to
that senior craft man . he was crafting to stone , I asked to him how many
years to you are working here for
conservation work of this temple’s , he
was answered me I am working here to last 40 years . and in next question I asked
to him, when you will re conserve to this
all hidden temples , then he was reply me in my life I think it will not
complete because in 40 years we have
conserved only 4 temple and that’s in not complete today . because its very tuf
work . first we are open to doom and then collect to part of temple and then we are fix to it step by step its
taking lots of time . in that movement he was told me about temple of Arthuna
and that’s architectural design . there
all temples was in folding design .so
after attack on temples here people were opened to our temples and hidden in dooms shape . that was a very
artistic and interesting art news for me about historical art structure of temple
of Arthuna village .

After talk to that
stone craft man I were shoot some pictures of that live historical place . or that’s artistic structures in critical condition. When I were in work of
Photography in that movement I were
forgot to my art workshop and that’s work presser . I were completely busy in documentation
work on Arthuna Village or that’s historical hidden temples . As a photographer
I were captured some motion of that temples in form of photo story . because by that live visit I were collecting
and lived historical story of stone
craft . there I were noticed many stone craft work was on ground here and there . but that area was in under of
our GOVT of INDIA or that’s Archaeology of INDIA. So I were felt that crafted
art work was safe .

There I were shoot to
temple of Shiva , and some mural sculptures of temple walls , some historical
pillar of temple structures . there I saw black and red stone craft work .i were noticed
some small temple was fixed there after conservation work and some were in
under construction . I were observed very first time a live conservation work
in big form with real historical hidden art work .

I were surprised after
imagine how to craft man and designer was created that big temple structure and after attack they had been opened to that
temple like a machine parts and hidden
in doom shape for safety . today once
again designer and craft man is busy in re fixing to all part of that historical temple after search to right part
of temple for that right design. Really that
was a great challenge a live challenge
with lots of puzzle condition of re fixing to temples of Arthuna on that’s right place . In that movement I were felt I am still in a
magical place of hidden art .. so I said Arthuna was hidden to art ….
