Udupi :
One day in 2017, Laxmi Rathod was visiting a temple fair where a packet of pens caught her eye. Acting on maternal instinct, she bought the packet for her son Shivaraj, then aged 12. Little did she know that her boy would create magic with the pens that cost her Rs 5 each.
Five years on, Shivaraj has become quite a sensation on social media platforms, especially on YouTube, where he has garnered a viewership of over 53,000 in less than a year. In September 2020, he had posted 106 reels showcasing his artworks on the YouTube channel, Shivaraj the Artist.
