About 6 feet tall. Bearded beard. A young man with long hair and tattoos on his hands. He regularly reaches the banks of Bagar and Kathekhola in Kaligand. He spends hours on the banks of the river and in the forest. They collect wooden sticks brought by the river. Collect pebbles found on the shore.

Sometimes they bring it home in a bag and sometimes they make a frame with pieces of wood found in the river and stick those stones there. This young man leaves home early in the morning and forgets to eat. Because, he enjoys doing 'pebble art' by making stones. And, in three, they give the shape of goddesses, humans and animals. 

He is Milan Khatri of Baglung Municipality 9. He also decorates by making figures of wild animals, Nataraja, different people from pieces of wood. Sometimes they stay inside the room for hours. They also carve tattoos according to the order. Wild animals, dolls, portraits of parents and deities are also made in the tattoo. They draw a picture on the canvas in time. Visiting old and historical places is also an interest of Khatri. After reaching that place, he has a habit of observing traditional goods, society and cultural activities. He likes to draw realistic and vivid pictures by reaching forests, rivers, suspension bridges.

Making sketches on paper, painting on canvas, doing pebble art, even making attractive pictures on the wall has become his daily routine. 90 percent of his paintings and art are tangible and 10 percent abstract. Kushma's 300-year-old 'Century House', Nepal's longest and highest Zelunge bridge, Kaligandaki river, Buddha, his own parents, the then king, Rana Prime Minister, etc. Khatri has painted dozens of places and people. 

When he tried to rent a painting shutter with such beautiful and artistic items, he could not find it. Some even said that if they give a room to such 'crazy', the rent will not rise. But he did not lose heart. After continuous efforts, he got a room in the inner lane from the road of the headquarters. Sitting there, he sharpened his art. "Nowadays, those who say Pagar, they are the ones who come trying to tattoo me," said Khatri, "even those who did not rent the house have regretted it." The society that looks at the physical condition and tattooed youth as tape, mundre is now affected by his hard work. 

After completing his SLC from Vidyamandir Mavi in ​​2062, Khatri studied management at Dhaulagiri Multipurpose Campus. The 34-year-old Khatri, who studied BBS, wished that he would have lost a job in the family. Father Kaviraj is a retired Indian Army and mother Tulsi is a housewife. Sister Kiran is in Dubai and brother Arjun is in Japan. He himself reached Afghanistan 12 years ago. After returning after one year, he also reached Qatar after four years. But he could not stay abroad. "The family's desire is to go abroad and earn money, but I fell in love with art, creation and painting," said Khatri. 

He complains that those who sit in important bodies of the state still do not understand the importance of this area. Now he has received good support from his family. "Only when the society recognizes such art, then it becomes an attractive field," he says. Khatri has also brought three young people from his neighborhood into this profession. Ravin Khadka, Adarsh ​​Shrestha and Sougat Karki supported this campaign of Milan. In Sutter, who paid 12,000 rent per month, his friends helped him in making garlands, taking out silk thread, filling crystals and 'wood art and tattooing work'.

Khatri occasionally attends workshops at the Fine Arts Campus and Pragya Pratishthan. They sit in search of a stall during the festival held in the district. It takes him three days to make one photo. Buyers look for cameras at the price they cost. But some people take orders through social networks. "I got up to 25,000 for a single photo," he said, "I could sell portraits for 20 to 24,000." 

is currently filled with his Tinkothe ​​shutter paintings. When making a tattoo, they look at the photo on the iPad and make a sketch first. Then it goes up to the canvas. "Even after looking at photos, I sketch on paper and then make tattoos," he said. Some people try to reduce it.

He said that tattooing is somewhat risky. You have to be very careful while getting a tattoo. A pin used by one cannot be used by another, said Khatri.
