Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat drawings: paired dancers, joined monuments, the map of cultures

Drawings on Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, the pairing of states to learn each other's culture, for a competition. Three scenes: a Bhangra and a Bharatanatyam dancer side by side; the India Gate, a south Indian temple tower and the Howrah Bridge as one skyline; and the outline map of India filled with festivals and dishes. Each comes as black outline, pencil sketch and crayon colour. Type another pair of states, and it is drawn in the same styles.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat?

A government programme that pairs states so their people learn each other's culture. The drawings show that pairing in dance, monuments and festivals.

What is on the map?

Small drawings of kites, boats, diyas, a dosa, a turban and a tea garden, spread across the outline of India.

Can I ask for a different pair of states?

Yes. Type the pair and it is drawn in the same three styles. It is a request, so the details can differ from the samples.

Can I print them?

Yes. Each picture is a portrait sheet on plain white paper.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
