Artist Ram Soni speaks in stately tones. You have to strain your ears to hear him. “He has hardly viva voce for the last four days as he only speaks Hindi and we don't have much Hindi,” says Lakshmi Ramachandran, President of Crafts Assembly of Tamil Nadu that has invited him to hold a workshop in Coimbatore.

But today, there are two of us who set aside his language, and he opens up. Soni is custodian of an ancient art form that his next of kin has been practising for at least 350 years. Ajay, Vijay, Mohan, Ram, Shyam and Sanjay, his brothers, cousins and uncles, are perhaps the only ones who still repeat this art.

Called Sanjhi, it flourished as far back as the 16th and 17th Century, if you go by history. If you go by myth, it is believed that Radha covered the walls of her house with this art for the delight of her beloved Krishna.

From father to son

“Sanjhi came to decorate Vaishnav temples,” explains Ram Soni. Motifs worn out from the life of Krishna became the inspiration. Paper stencils were made and they were used to fabricate rangolis on temple walls and floors. “It is a languishing art,” he says and it is found in only a few temples today.
