APSARAS - A KERALA MURAL



Here is my Kerala Mural

Which depicts a pretty nymph...

a celestial beauty-Apsaras...

See how she is bedecked with jewels

and surrounded by flora and fauna...

This painting is made with acrylic paints 

on canvas...

the color scheme is again-

based on the traditional Panchavarnams...

Usually,Gods and Goddesses 

are portrayed in Kerala Murals and

 this painting is a rare exception...


Who is an Apsaras?

Apsara is the most beatiful,charming and supernatural celestial female being in the Heaven,among the Devlok(Gods) and Rambha is the queen of all Apsaras.

Rambha is super talented and symbol of a ideal mismerising dancer.She is also expert in music and love-making.Apsaras entertain the demi-gods by their magical singing and dancing.
The king of gods,Indra requested her many times times to seduce the sages and break their meditation,so as to test their purity.Accordingly,Rambha was successful in breaking the concentration of Rishi Vishwamitra,who then cursed her to become a rock for ten thousand years.
