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.
