The Golden Fleece Vishwa Jhotir Mandir in Region Two (Pomeroon- Supenaam) recently honoured local designer Vishnu Mahadeo for his outstanding craftsmanship over the years. Mahadeo has been attending the Golden Fleece Mandir for almost 10 years and since his involvement in the design process, the Mandir has copped first position three years running in the annual Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha motorcade competition.
Mahadeo’s creativity and intricate designs have stood out over the years and have never failed to amaze the judges. In recognition of his talent and efforts, the Mandir presented him with a plaque.
Apart from designing illuminated vehicles, he is known for his artistic works and his creativity in wedding and event decorating. Mahadeo is also versed in banners, paintings and drawings.
In accepting the token, the local designer said he was indeed honoured by the recognition. Mahadeo is a teacher at the Abram Zuil Secondary School and enjoys drawing and designing in his spare time.
According to Mahadeo, it is his desire to become a leading designer and have the opportunity to join big companies in their “Mash camps”. He also aspires to ‘make it’ on the international scene.
