Madhya Pradesh tribal artist Bhuri Bai expressed her happiness on receiving Padma Shri Award on November 9. “I have been into paintings since childhood. When I started working as a labourer, I was encouraged by my employer to transfer folk art from the mud walls to canvasses. Today my paintings are sold abroad. Glad for this honour,” said Bhuri Bai.
