Using nothing more than a simple black ink pen and an unshakable devotion, Khushbu has created a series of approximately 200 artworks, each capturing a moment from Shree Krishna Katha from his miraculous birth in Mathura to the divine conclusion of his earthly journey.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n\tEach artwork, sized around 4x6 inches, is a masterpiece of intricate line work. No colors. No digital tools. Just black ink flowing like time itself, chronicling tales that have been passed down for centuries. What makes her work so breathtaking is the sheer detail and emotion rendered through every stroke. Every piece speaks whether it&rsquo;s the joy of Krishna&rsquo;s childhood pranks in Gokul, the depth of the Bhagavad Gita, or the haunting calm of his final moments in Dwarka. &ldquo;I wanted to capture not just the events,&rdquo; says Khushbu, &ldquo;but the feeling behind them. The tenderness in Yashoda&rsquo;s eyes, the courage of Arjuna, the mischief in little Krishna&rsquo;s smile these are eternal emotions.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n\tEach sketch required hours sometimes days of patient line work. No erasures, no retakes. A single mistake could mean starting all over again. That is the discipline Khushbu brings to her work, and it shows. The result is a visually meditative experience that has captivated not only local art enthusiasts but also spiritual seekers and collectors across the country. What acrylics and oils express through color, Khushbu conveys through purity and precision of black ink a bold choice in an era dominated by digital and mixed media. Beyond the technique, her project is deeply personal. &ldquo;Krishna&rsquo;s story has always been close to my heart,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;This wasn&rsquo;t just an art project; it was a spiritual journey. Every time I drew his image, I felt connected as if I was walking through the chapters of the Bhagavatam with him.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n\tKhushbu&rsquo;s dedication to Shree Krishna Katha has already begun attracting attention from spiritual organizations, art galleries, and cultural forums. Plans are underway for a traveling exhibition titled &quot;Krishna in Lines,&quot; with hopes of eventually publishing the entire collection as a visual scripture, allowing devotees around the world to experience Krishna&rsquo;s life in a never-before-seen visual format. Despite the recognition, Khushbu remains humble. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m just a medium,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s Krishna&rsquo;s story, not mine. I only held the pen.&rdquo; As the spiritual and artistic communities take notice, it&rsquo;s clear that Khushbu Sharma&rsquo;s pen has done more than draw lines it has drawn hearts toward a deeper connection with culture, divinity, and heritage.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","record_date":"2025-09-01","created":"2025-09-01","record_category":"0","show_on_achieving_lorel":null,"type":"","status":"Active","modified_date":"2025-09-01 08:32:08","modified_by":"0","is_deleted":"0","deleted_by":"0","delete_date":""}],"pagination":"<li class=\"firstPage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/worldbookofrecords.uk\/records\/loadRecord\" data-ci-pagination-page=\"1\" rel=\"start\">&laquo;<\/a><\/li><li class=\"previousPage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/worldbookofrecords.uk\/records\/loadRecord\/104\" data-ci-pagination-page=\"104\" rel=\"prev\">&lsaquo;<\/a><\/li><a href=\"https:\/\/worldbookofrecords.uk\/records\/loadRecord\/103\" data-ci-pagination-page=\"103\">103<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/worldbookofrecords.uk\/records\/loadRecord\/104\" data-ci-pagination-page=\"104\">104<\/a><a class=\"active\">105<\/a>","row":832}
