When she got married, she couldn’t dedicate a lot of time to the craft due to household work. But after some years, she and her husband felt the need of taking up this craft as the major earning for the house. Currently, Anjana Devi and her husband are full-time professional artisans of Manjusha art. They majorly get orders from government and also participate in a lot of exhibitions. She also gives training of Manjusha art in various institutes. She was awarded with “Rajya Medha Puruskar” in 2016-17 for her excellent display.
