RADHA MADHAVAM - A KERALA MURAL



                  In the idyllic surrounding of the gardens of BRINDAVAN
                  
                 on the swirling banks of the River Yamuna,


                 watch Krishna ... and his beloved -RADHA....


                 lost in their own world ....


                 In this KERALA MURAL -  I have portrayed the 


                 Divine pair engulfed in love...


                 The  subtle use of the Pancha varnas -


                ( though I have not used the traditional vegetable dyes)


                ( I have stuck to the prescribed shades...)


                 add an ethinic touch to this painting which is also 


                 popularly known as JALAKREEDA...
