“My passion for heritage comes from the place I grew up. I was born in the picturesque state of Kerala located in the south of India, which is well known for its rich history, backwaters, spices, Ayurveda, hill resorts and house boats. I grew up in a house that was built in early 1901.”

Shameera’s artefact

Close-up of bright yellow flowers with red markings, covered in water droplets, surrounded by green leaves.

“My 'artefact' is the people, plants, and the animals around me. There is no greater feeling than knowing that you made a difference in someone else’s life and seeing animals feel safe and protected around you. ”
