BUDDHA in..... Vitarka asana !






This painting has been done on three separate canvases. Each giving a separate message and when kept together, completes a story of Budha's life.In the search of moksha, he reached Divinity. How and why his son Rahula leaves the palace to join his order at a very tender age. 


            
 TO START WITH I HAVE CREATED THE PALM AND THE FACE OF  BUDDHA ON THE

 CANVAS.

I HAVE USED VARIOUS TECHNIQUES TO BRING OUT A THREE DIMENSIONAL EFFECT 

ON THE MINDS OF VIEWERS.  THE FEEL OF BUDDHA'S PRESENCE. 
      
                                                                          


  In the first canvas, it has been shown the mantras which the monks chant. The Vitarka asana, where

Buddha sits with intellectuals in long discussion to enfold his eight fold path of moksha. The palm

has been created. it is not only painted but to bring in the drama the creation adds aura to the whole

canvas.

The second canvas speaks of Buddha sitting in a discussion with the people who are also in search

 of soul an solace. There I have again used relief work to create an impact on the viewers.

The third canvas talks about Rahula and his cousin leaving all palatial comforts to Join Buddha in

 the monastery.

 The lotus holds a great significance in Buddha's life.
