When you pass through a street which is almost filled with the garbage what would you do? most of us would close our nose and walk away.. and from the next time, we would try to avoid that road.

But here is a man in contradiction to it. Meet Suresh K. Nair who moved  to Banaras in 2007 as he was posted as an assistant professor in the department of painting at Banaras Hindu University. 

“I got a job in Banaras in 2007. When you first come to the city you feel there are so many dirty and unorganised places that the government is not taking care of. After walking around the city for a few days, I recognized many different places and came up with the idea of setting up wall murals there,” says Suresh K. Nair. The 45-year -old who hails from Kerala.

The professor along with his visual art students started 'Public Art Project' to give the city a new look!

Till now they have painted 25 walls with beautiful murals across the city,  They started with private places like hotels, clubs, schools, and houses, but have slowly moved to public places with the support of the government. Depending on the size, completion of one mural takes about a week or more.

Meanwhile, a private school head Ms. Chandak was really worried about her school which was in a pathetic condition and was situated exactly opposite to the Banaras University,  Someone suggested her about Mr. Nair and his transforming artworks 

The campus has invited Mr. Nair and his students to work in a portion of the school that had almost turned into a garbage dumping area. The professor along with his students erected a wall and painted murals representing the five elements of nature with symbols like birds, fish, etc. Other than his students, Suresh is also trying to involve local workers in this project.
