Second set of paintings but a different genre altogether. Again straight from the artist. @surshdhurve is a fantastic human being and very down to earth artist. He has been painting for over 35 years and is one of the top 14 artists promoting Tribal art form in #MadhyaPradesh. I have requested him to share the pics via pdf format. I am coming to you all to help him sell some of them soon. Let's help him reach a wider audience. #SarathShenoy #DontHoldBack #ActiveTouring #HindusthanKaDilDekho #IncredibleIndia #GondArt

@mptourism has done a fantastic job with the museum. I haven't seen any museum that has so much info about the culture. A must visit if you land up in #MadhyaPradesh. #SarathShenoy #DontHoldBack #HindusthanKaDilDekho #IncredibleIndia #MpTourism

Picked up my first set of paintings straight from the artist. #KassuBariya has done some fantastic paintings and have showcased it at the MP Tribal Museum. Brilliant paintings and amazing stories around it. ---------------------------------------------------- Bhil paintings usually consist of large, un-lifelike shapes of everyday characters filled in with earthy, yet bright colours, and then covered with an overlay of uniform dots in several patterns and colours that stand out strikingly against the background. ---------------------------------------------------- #SarathShenoy #DontHoldBack #ActiveTouring #MadhyaPradesh #HindusthanKaDilDekho #MpTourism #IndiaKaDilDekho #IncredibleIndia #DekhoApnaDesh #BhilPainting

I am coming back here when the rains are done. Madhya pradesh is truly a brilliant spot to explore. So many hidden treasures spread across the state. ------------------------------- The Bhimbetka rock shelters are an archaeological site in central India that spans the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, as well as the historic period.[1][2] It exhibits the earliest traces of human life in India and evidence of Stone Age starting at the site in Acheulian times. --------------------------------- #SarathShenoy #DontHoldBack #ActiveTouring #MadhyaPradesh #HindusthanKaDilDekho #MpTourism #IndiaKaDilDekho #IncredibleIndia #DekhoApnaDesh

Been down for a full week, the body was broken bad and felt like I wouldn't survive. Family, friends and pets kept me going. Now it's time to recover, get on the bike and go places all over again. #SarathShenoy #CovidKiJai

Not the highest pass but definitely highest levels of energy. The cross winds and cold slowed us down but we made it through. Now all roads lead home and back to work. See you on a bike very soon dear mountains. #SarathShenoy #GoAdventure #GoEverywhere #TangangLa

One of those days where you realise you have no stamina left. But the love for motorcycling and new terrains pulls out that last bit, help you fight it out and go have more fun. I am coming back for the Padum Lingshed route again, maybe try the new route. #SarathShenoy #smilesandmiles

I randomly booked the window seat, and got lucky to be seated in the right side. The Siliguri to delhi flight got me the best view ever. The full view of Kanchenjunga range kept me glued and excited. Brings back all the memories from my ride to upper mustang on @bajajdominar #RoofOfTheWorldOdyssey

From the house of Dominar, we kicked off the first ever #DominarRun with a fun bunch in kerala. 17 riders road across the beautiful vagamon on the fantastic #BajajDominar. Each bike was wrapped or customised as per individual taste and would stand out everytime. #BajajDominar #Dominar400 #Dominar #DontHoldBack #HowIsYourCubicleToday

Form a few years ago when we built a rally bike around @bajajdominar, raced it at #Raid and finished it. #Julley also went on to lead a few tours and then went into hiding. I hope to bring it alive this season and see it blast across the himalayas again. #BajajDominar #Dominar400 #Dominar #DontHoldBack #SarathShenoy

Photos are nothing but book marks, they let you go back in time and live it out a bit. Or start from where you left. This one from the #RoofOfTheWorldOdyssey a few years ago with @anny.arun on the @bajajdominar. More of it and our favourite parking spots line up on the upcoming Tour of northeast. Come sign up and lets explore the beautiful and lesser known part of himalayas. #SarathShenoy #Dominar400 #Dominar #DontHoldBack #DominarTours #AdventurePradesh

It was a long day, but the opportunity couldn't be missed. Parked the bike, plonked the camera and went off to sleep. Didn't even think of cleaning the lens. Maybe next time a slightly better shot. #SarathShenoy #DontHoldBack #ActiveTouring #Motorcycletouring #dominardiaries #IDontTrashMyTravel #TourEasy #MotorcycleTravel #RannOfKutchTour #StarTrails

#LifeUpdate #LongPost My stories usually have a back story and a parallel run of many experiences, that's what made me who I am. 20 years ago I took my first personal loan and went on to buy a motorcycle. Rode it around for a while and moved on to various others. In this process, I fueled my passion and took a jump from my corporate role in 2015. I travelled across the country and figured my likes, made new connects, lead tours and did various projects with motorcycle brands and motorcycle related products. Today I have signed up to work with India's biggest motorcycle brand, Bajaj Auto. As a Consultant - Ride coordinator, I will be organising motorcycle tours for Dominar owners across the country. Design and lead Weekend rides to marquee rides across the county. Bringing alive the dream of living out of a motorcycle got really real :) #DontHoldBack #SarathShenoy

Every ride is an experience, some good some bad. I believe that's what will make you the person you are. On our last adventure, we had a very long day and had to ride from Majuli to shillong. The rain gods had no mercy on us and we had no way but ride through. Half way through the ride, we stopped to regroup and walked into a shop for chai. They don't sell chai, but I managed to convince didi and she made us laal chai and bhaiya opened a few packets of biscuits to go along with it. More than the chai, the gesture energised us and we rode the rest of the day with a smile. I offered to pay and she said, you are our guests. :) #ChaiStopStories

Rode all over the country in over 5 months, lost track of what I was doing at a few times. But the hustle got along plenty #ChaiStopStories. Lack of sleep but plenty plenty connections and exposure to people from various walks of life. Adding value to life and content to self. To many more such and brilliant pics like these. 📸By @_va_msi #SarathShenoy #AdventuresOnAKTM #SlipNSlideADV #TheShenoyExperience

#RannOfKutchTour was bigger than I expected it to be, we rode through the #LittleRann and made it to the majestic #GreatRann. The terrain and the company that came along made it even better. Riders from across the country rode along and went home as friends. #DontHoldBack #DominarRok #DominarTour #DominarRidesROK #ActiveTouring #Motorcycletouring #dominardiaries #IDontTrashMyTravel #TourEasy #MotorcycleTravel #MotorcycleDiaries#SportTouring #RannOfKutch #Lakhpath #Dholavira #WhiteRann #LittleRann #Kalodungar #Koteshwar #LeaveEveryPlaceClean
