Sanjhi Art by Artisan Ashutosh Verma from Uttar Pradesh, India

Hi! My name is Ashutosh Verma. I practice Sanjhi art paper cutting work. I am a resident of Mathura (Lord Krishna’s birthplace). Sanjhi art is being done in our family for 90 years. My grandfather and his father were the master craftsmen of this art. I have learned this art from my father, but the credit to make me perfect in this art mainly goes to my paternal uncles. It has been a few years since I started doing this work and now I am fully trained in this art.

I have completed my graduation in commerce stream and have participated in many exhibitions in India. I am a young artist and have not received any award yet, but many members of my family are honored by several awards.
