Parashar was born and brought up in Ranthambhore, a part of Sawai Madhopur district in state of Rajasthan in western India. Parashar is a graduate of Rajasthan School of Art (1978–1982).
Parashar is often considered Ranthambhore's first son. Born and raised in the towns flanking the Ranthambhore forests (Ranthambhore National Park), Parashar's earliest memories involve treks through the forests to catch glimpses of the elusive tiger. His passion for Ranthambhore and all its inhabitants, quadruped, biped and stationary inspired him to found the Ranthambhore School of Art and Wildlife Conservation Society in 1982.
Art Works
Over the years, Parashar has developed a style to suit the natives of Ranthambhore who lack easy access to sophisticated art supplies. With domestic lampblack or soot and a crumpled newspaper used as a nib, Parashar creates intricate imagery of his preferred subject: the tiger.
