Hi, I am Navedita, also known as #exoticdirtbag . I believe in peace and love for Earth.  For over 11 years, I have worked with children and communities across India and globally at the intersection of Arts, philosophy and storytelling advocating expression and deep meaningful connections with self and the world we inhabit.

"Pyar Se" is a transformative road art project conceived as a response to the current times of division and hatred in my country India. I am traveling from Bengaluru to Chandigarh, covering approximately 2,500 km over six days with my partner. This journey aims to spread messages of love, peace, and humanity through art and writing, fostering connections across diverse communities.


 India is experiencing rising tensions—social, political, and emotional. We’re on the brink of forgetting that we belong to one another. This project is a peaceful resistance—an attempt to remind people across towns and cities of the power of empathy, love, and dialogue.
- To bridge differences using accessible, heart-led creative expression.
- To plant small seeds of peace in unexpected places—walls, roadsides, hands.
- To amplify grassroots voices, not with slogans but with art, poetry, and kindness.

The journey will span 5-6 days, with each leg covering around 300-600 km per day.
Bangalore → Hyderabad → Nagpur → Bhopal → Gwalior → Mathura → Chandigarh
At each stop:

• Graffiti/Mural walls: Temporary or permanent public art pieces sharing love and peace messages saying “PYAAR SE”.
• Postcard project: Give out handmade postcards and collect written responses from people to be shared online as well as offline with others.
• Love Notes: Leave small notes in public spaces—bus stops, tea stalls, shops—with handwritten messages.
• Engage schools/local people: Invite local children or artists to co-create artworks.
• Digital storytelling: Document everything on social media and build an online gallery/archive.

All art materials will be minimal and upcycled/recycled to keep the footprint small and the spirit inclusive.

• 🎨 Create with Me: If  we are  passing through your town/city, join us for a few hours of painting, writing, or just sharing chai and stories.
• 💌 Send a Message: Submit your message of peace or artwork digitally. I’ll print it and carry it with me as part of the traveling gallery.
• 💰 Support Financially: Even ₹100 matters. Small donations will go towards travel, materials, and community activities.
• 🧡 Be a Patron: Sponsor a city leg of the trip—your support will be acknowledged in that city’s artwork and on social media.
• 📣 Spread the Word: Share the journey, follow on Instagram, or help connect me with local communities.
