Jail inmates create sand art on eve of Guru Nanak Jayanti
Jaipur, Nov. 5 -- Prisoners at the Central Jail, Shyalawas, marked the eve of Guru Nanak Dev's birth anniversary with creative expression of devotion and reform.
The prisoners created a striking sand art within the jail premises using soil from the compound, drawing admiration from all.
The artwork was led by inmate Rajesh, with support from fellow inmate Sandeep Gupta. Inspired by the eternal teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the sand art beautifully conveyed the messages of peace, love, and selfless service. The piece prominently depicted Guru Nanak's core principles-"Naam Japo, Kirat Karo, Vand Chhako" (recite the name of God, earn through honest means, and share with others)-with remarkable balance, devotion, and artistry.
Jail Superintendent Paras Jangid praised the initiative, calling such creative activities essential for inmates' personal growth and emotional well-being.
