<div>It’s a celebration of India’s unsung heroes who often toil for the county in harsh weather conditions without access to many protective equipments.<br><br>One Stroke adapted the mural from an image taken by young photographer @ranga_prasad_, centrally featuring a salt miner working at a salt pan in Marakkanam – a coastal panchayat town near Chennai and one of the largest salt producing regions in Tamil Nadu.<br><br>The piece’s monochrome colour palette was an artistic choice to highlight the hardships that often accompany salt farming including hard physical labour and constant exposure to harsh sun, while the technique of hyper realism seeks to centralise the salt farmer as the backbone of the state’s economy and its numerous communities&nbsp;<br><br>Festival supported by Asian Paints and Start India</div>
