This installation celebrates the Shringaar rasa, one of the nine rasas, loosely translated as nine feelings, tastes, or moods. Feelings of love, attraction, and adornment fall in the category of the shringaar rasa. This wall screen seems depicts a story of five women friends who seem to be indulging in adornment. The narrative is brought to life by master artist Sudhir and his atelier in the Kerala mural painting style. The original colour palette has been maintained while blowing up and transferring the painting onto a ceramic tile base, capturing it for eternity. The copper relief on the painting has been applied by hand. The diya panel placed over the composition helps provide the light source. |
