Amar Sipahi ( Tribute to Kargil war heroes)
“No BULLET can pierce thy SOUL”
“My heart and soul for India, My Body’s the BULLETS and my spirit is victorious” the essence of bravery and sacrifice of Kargil war heroes has been evocatively displayed by the Art Installation “No BULLET can pierce thy SOUL”
To Commemorate 17 years of Kargil Victory , an exclusively created 22 feet high Soldier Figure with his Gun, paying Homage to the war heroes will be displayed at the Central Atrium of Select City Walk Mall , Saket Delhi from 21st to 26th July, 2016.
80,000 Bullet shells from toe to head cover the 3 storey high soldier structure Gopal with his team created this marvel to salute the spirit of patriotism and victory which made India win the most difficult war of Kargil .
The inspiration originated from undying spirit of a soldier and his rooted belief in the quotes from “Gītā” Summarized from TEXT 23 :
nainam chindanti sastrani, nainam dahati pavakah
na cainam kledayanty apo, na sosayati marutah
The soul can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor can he be burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.
