Mythology on Canvas: Traditional Indian Art & Philosophy

"The Margazhi Brew," a painting inspired by Shri Parashar Bhattar's verses on the devotee Andal. It explores the power of her devotion, which is potent enough to awaken the sleeping Lord, a theme central to the sacred month of Margazhi.

A closer look at my painting, "The Margazhi Brew." This artwork is a visual meditation on Andal's Thiruppavai, where her conviction and surrender churn out the divine essence, much like butter from milk.

My painting "The Swelling Clouds of Devotion," an impression from Andal's Thiruppavai. It visualizes her plea to the Lord to rise like dark clouds, flashing his Sudarshan Chakra and thundering his Panchajanya conch, raining grace upon all.

I was honored to have my painting of Sri Andal featured on the cover of "The Champaca Enchantment" by author Lalitha Ram. It was a joy to contribute to this beautiful picture book detailing the life and passion of the great devotee.

Titled "MARGA," this painting is an impression from Vrindavan, inspired by the Gopala Vimshati. It depicts the maze of the inner Vrindavan, where the bewildered self, like a calf, follows the footsteps of the divine trickster, searching for its master.

A mural of Bhikshaatanar, the eternal beggar form of Shiva. He walks jovially, with one foot in the world and one in Maya, reminding us that he is the one who knocks on our inner door, calling out our woes and inviting faith within.

This artwork was inspired by the endless debates over the concept of the Guru. It depicts the story of Amarnath, where Shiva teaches Parvati, who falls asleep. Who is the true teacher? Perhaps it is the one who ensures the secret is delivered, even in slumber.

A glimpse into the "SANGAM" exhibition, an event celebrating the confluence of art, music, and dance. The video shows my paintings on display, alongside moments from the collaborative musical and dance performances.

With a visitor at my art exhibition. I am always grateful for the opportunity to discuss the minute details and stories embedded within each painting, making the experience more enriching for art lovers.
