He has exhibited extensively across India and internationally, with his works showcased in countries such as the UK, Germany, Mexico, Iran, Cuba, and Australia. His contributions have been recognized with several prestigious honours, including the National Award from Lalit Kala Akademi, the President of India’s Silver Plaque from the All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society, and a UNESCO award.
