Psyched to share another one of our 2022 Fellowship grantees with y’all this #FeatureFriday: Wall Murals to Raise Awareness of the Ancient Water Temples of the Himalayas himalayansplendours, a project led by Udayan Saha (16)! 🙌

Udayan’s project focuses on an unused water temple in the mountain village of Matogi in the Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India ⛰️—a community that faces water issues regularly. 

Although the water temple is a good source of perennial water, because there isn’t much maintenance, it isn’t used very often. By creating murals on the walls around the water temple, Udayan aims to highlight the water heritage of the Himalayas, the importance of the water cycle 🌧️, and the interconnectivity among the different elements of nature 🌱

The murals will also show the rich cultural and social activities that once revolved around the water temple before piped water supplies came.

Udayan’s main goals are to instill in the community a renewed pride in their water heritage, and to inspire them to take ownership of the water temple’s future upkeep.

A future.blue.youth.council grant initiative, The Fellowship Program gives funding and mentorship to students ages 13-19 who are addressing water-related issues in their communities through new or emerging projects 💧

We can’t wait to see Udayan’s project take shape with the help of the 2022 Council and the grant we’ve awarded him! 😃
