Hubbali (Karnataka): A nine-year-old girl's brilliant artwork portraying the misery faced by the poor during the COVID-19 pandemic, won her the first place in an international painting competition.
Nine-year-old Arna Angadi, a class four student of the Roatary Public School in Karnataka's Hubbali, won the first place in an international online painting competition.
The theme of the competition, organised by the Creative Stories Welfare Society, was the effect of COVID-19 on people from different levels of the society.
Having keenly observed the adverse affects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown on the people, Arna created a beautiful painting which portrayed the miserable condition of the poor, and also the lifestyle changes that the rich were subjected to.
Arna, who is the daughter of Savita and Basavaraja Angadi, was the only contestant representing India in the competition which featured 110 contestants from over 10 nations.
However, this is not the first time that Arna has secured the first place, as she has won multiple competitions in the past.
