  "account": "Renowned mural artist Basanth Peringode has brought Keralam's rich mural tradition to Rashtrapati Bhavan, with his works now taking pride of place in the museum's permanent collection. The prestigious invitation comes from the Bhavan authorities, who chose the artist from a select group of eminent artists across the country. Peringode, a former faculty member of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, has made his mark in various creative fields, including film production and exhibition design. His Keralan murals, rooted in the State's distinct artistic and cultural heritage, drew particular admiration from both Bhavan officials and visitors, ultimately earning him a special honour from President Droupadi Murmu. The inclusion of Peringode's works in the Bhavan's permanent display is a significant milestone for both Keralam and the artist, placing the State's mural heritage on a national cultural stage.",
