Sadhvi Vishrut Vibha
The Terapantha is well known for its valuable contribution to the field of an art and craft. Even foreigners are surprised by seeing the beautiful articles made by the ascetics. The Sangha has excelled in the spheres of drawing, painting, calligraphy, needlework, handicraft and the creation of miniature manuscripts which are considered unique. Foe example, in a single piece of paper of the size 9”X4”, nearly 80000 alphabetical characters have been written with a pen made from a countryside shrub (called baru) and with naked eye. When Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru saw it, he remarked, “Howsoever western nations may go on developing mechanical efficiency, it seems difficult for them to surpass such microscopic manual writings.”
Thousands and thousands of pages have been written in such miniature styles. In the same way, the magnificent utensils made the spectators wonder struck.
