About the challenges he faced, he says, “Imagining a whole different era with very less literature available was a challenge. The text is still undeciphered, due to which archaeologists don’t have enough information, and of whatever information is available, there is no visual representation. I studied their sculptures, seals and jewellery as a catalyst to my imagination process, and to understand the designs of that era.”
The artist referred to multiple books written by Indian and foreign authors as his source for research. On a final note, Srinivasa strongly urges the younger generation to conduct extensive research on the ancient Indian history and culture. He emphasises on the need to revive it and embrace it.
