00:00Music

00:30Music is very important for us.

00:33The biggest treasure is the music of miniature paintings.

00:40And the second biggest treasure was that for 40 years,

00:45folk paintings and tribal art paintings were made together.

00:52Folk and tribal art music.

00:56Many tribal artists have died.

01:00There are many who have become old.

01:04They cannot be replaced.

01:07The miniature museum is a treasure that can be torn apart.

01:14Because we have been collecting for 40 years.

01:18And we didn't have that much money.

01:20One painting cost 8-10 lakhs.

01:23And my daughter's painting was also 8-10 lakhs.

01:30So many times she used to buy a miniature painting.

01:35The collectors, the ones who made it, have died.

01:40The ones who collect their things, are still there.

01:46They collect. They have an interest.

01:50They sell it.

01:52They buy to sell it.

01:55You have collected this for 40 years.

01:58How old are these paintings?

02:01These paintings are at least 150 years old.

02:06And 200 years old.

02:09These people have died.

02:11They have died.

02:12Nowadays no one makes them.

02:14And ASI, Archaeological Survey of India,

02:19they take it to them.

02:22They don't want it to be stolen.

02:24They take it and sell it.

02:26We don't want that.

02:28We want it to stay in our country.

02:31People sell it to foreigners.

02:34So we took it to the Archaeological Survey office for 8 years.

02:41My daughter took it for 2-3 days.

02:45She was registered for hours.

02:50The Archaeological Survey is very sad.

02:53They show a lot of tantrums.

02:56They just want to see how old it is.

03:01They are experts.

03:03They have seen it.

03:04They have modeled it.

03:05They have made dozens of rounds in it.

03:09Ma'am, how did you make this place?

03:15How long have you been making it?

03:18I had 1.5 acres.

03:23It was allotted from the time of Indira Gandhi.

03:26It was a jungle.

03:28From Sheriford Road to Panchayat.

03:31There was nothing.

03:33So they gave me 1.5 acres.

03:36I was running a school for poor children.

03:44For poor girls.

03:46I made it in a big place.

03:49They allotted 1.5 acres to me.

03:54I was the chairman of DDA.

03:57Jagmohan.

03:59So they said,

04:01You will have to make a society.

04:04I said, what should I name it?

04:06They named it Academy of Fine Arts.

04:09My mother made this institution alone.

04:13It has been going on for 30-35 years.

04:16Without any government or foreign grant or CSR.

04:20In this, we have made 4 free museums of our collection.

04:25In which we have not put a ticket.

04:27And the collection we have of old miniature paintings.

04:32We have made 2 museums to share with the public.

04:38We printed their books.

04:43Like this book.

04:46Magic of Indian Miniatures.

04:48We printed this book in 2007.

04:50In which all their documentation and texts are there.

04:54We gave a lot of money to a big art historian.

04:58And got this book printed.

05:00I started the registration of ASI in 2002.

05:0422 years back.

05:06We printed a book of 350 pages of folk art museum.

05:10In which there is folk art of different regions of the country.

05:14Like this is of Madhya Pradesh.

05:17And this is of Odisha and Maharashtra.

05:20This is all folk art.

05:21We printed these books too.

05:23I printed my book.

05:25These books have become solid.

05:29We don't have a copy of these books.

05:31All of them went into flood.

05:33But the biggest loss.

05:35Books went.

05:36Thousands of books went.

05:38Because this is not a library.

05:40It is a free library and reading room.

05:42My mother is a writer.

05:43She is a Padma Shri.

05:44So this is a free library and reading room for the public.

05:48There is no membership.

05:49Anyone can come and read and use.

05:52The biggest loss in this flood.

05:55Because 4.5 feet of water had come.

05:58This is an old Persian miniature.

06:01200 years old.

06:02The face of the person sitting in it has flown away.

06:06Who will paint this face?

06:08Which color was used by the 200 years old artist?

06:12This is a portrait of Devi.

06:16And this is of Kangra.

06:18Kangra painting is very expensive.

06:21And the Persian miniature.

06:23The value of a painting in the international market is 7 to 10 lakhs.

06:29How many NRIs approached us.

06:33We are making a museum in America.

06:35We are making it in San Francisco.

06:37We are making it here.

06:38We buy from you.

06:40Our answer is always.

06:42Can anyone sell their ears, eyes, nose and hands?

06:47This body is a part of our soul for us.

06:52We have not sold a single painting from this building.
