The photo-story behind murals on walls of Bangalore

Shot @ Gandhi Bazar,Bangalore,March2010. Some weekend shoot with Shaan & Raja.

Close to 100 painters, all from Bangalore, have been employed in the process of painting murals across the Bangalore city walls, thanks to the BBMP's attempt to keep the walls clean.

The beautification-thing started last year, and now the authorities plan to expand, painting almost every city wall in Bangalore.
“We started painting walls on the Independence Day last year, and since then we have doing it in almost all the localities. We are now focusing on the Airport road, like places in and around Yelahanka, and we will try to cover as many areas as possible,” said Dr. Khandre. Seeing the initiative many feel that the initiative will help in keeping many of these walls clean.
