this one is incredible- I especially loved the dash of colour in shades which were so natural, unlike the gary painting going on in many of the old tamil temples like madurai meenakshi.

Raghavendra Prasad.. No difference between picture drawn (sorry to say that way, HE has come into that) and what we have dharshan in the temple. HE has come to ur system and made this possible.

Why this vaduvur and Mannargudi?

We have name our boy as Rajagopalan. He had just finished his X from Jawahar Vidyalaya and trying to branch out to PSBB.

Great work by you.

GOD IS BLESSING YOU

@L. Muralidharan:

Thanks for your kind words sir.
Vaduvur and Mannargudi deities are my favorite too.

Best wishes to your son Rajagoplan!

This was the 1st work of yours I saw. Love the delicate shading.
Do you ever draw North Indian Masterpieces? I love some of the Gupta, Pratihara, Vakataka murthis.

Ragha Prasad said...

@Kathie

Thanks! I love Gupta art too. I havent attempted to paint them yet..

Radha said...
