The Viral Drawing That Changed Everything: Payal Nag's Tryst With Archery
Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board: For Payal Nag, a quadruple amputee, life changed completely when a picture of her drawing, which she drew with her mouth, went viral on social media; that caught the attention of coach Kuldeep Vedwan. What followed was not just the discovery of archery but the discovery of self-belief, discipline and purpose.
Payal delivered a sensational performance at the World Archery Para Series in Bangkok on Saturday, defeating reigning world champion Sheetal Devi, the world’s first female limbless archer.
At just seven years old, she lost all four of her limbs after coming in contact with an 11,000-volt power line passing over a roof in 2015. The daughter of migrant labourers from Balangir district in India’s eastern state of Odisha, she grew up facing doubts and ridicule about how she would live her life.
