“It’s easy to sell finished products or goods, but it’s difficult to create new ones. That’s why I respect all creators in the world,” said Sanu Bajracharya, a 48-year-old stone-carving artist from Bhinchhebahal, Patan.
He started stone carving at the age of 12. He said, “I had no plans of becoming an artist, but I gradually learned the skill. Life is uncertain and full of surprises. This is a work where you don’t have to pay to learn and you can earn from it. It’s your hard work that pays off at the end of the day.
