Hi
somehow I stumbled upon your wonderful blog, kudos to Google and its automatically generated links on Nek Chand (one of my posts did touch upon one of the best masterfully crafted earthy folk art / street cultural pieces), the son-of-the soil. I loved your write-up which was so blended with a fabulous collection of images. The Bangles people reflect the resplendency of common life in India.
I took one of your pics n uploaded it to my blog (with due credits to you) as well as provided a link to your blog ..Hope you dont mind, as I have a genuine intention to drive more traffic to your wonderful write-up on this humble yet extraordinary art culture.
Thank you very much

Everyone should visit this place – It is a dream. I was there earlier this year and was lucky enough to create a sculpture for the park. Nek Chand is a genius!!
The rock garden is the 2nd most visited place in India after the Taj Mahal – not bad for one man’s secret dream eh?
Will get round to uploading some of the pics soon….
Nek Chand’s Rock Garden is now one of the wonders of the world! If i had the chance i would deffinatly go there! Think of the skill it took to create this! Go Nek!
Nek Chand’s rock garden is really great! Some people even say it’s the largest folk art enviorment in the world. The Roman pool/Hearst castle is much more exciting though! Seriously, just chek it out.
wow. these are pretty cool.
