By the sea shore

Janta curfew, a coinage I heard after years but this time, it's for the benefit of our own ...staying home quarantined from the rest of the world...they say staying home never gets onto your nerves if you are creative....solace, in the time of disaster....

Har Har Mahadev..

Some requests keep ringing in your mind and you tend to loose your sleep. This is what happened when my friend's son started nagging me for a Shiva painting. It was nagging in real sense...wherever we meet  he will be just after me...gradually, I could sense that I cannot just avoid his request, else it will be a sacrilege on my part. The boy will lose trust forever which I didn't want at all....I decided to work on this instead...I wanted to see his happy face.

Nagging boy..

Jalkandeshwar temple in Vellore has a beautiful mural showing a little boy, probably Lord Krishna nagging his mother while she looks annoyed. I was fascinated by how a mother's vulnerability is shown in a moment's gesture.

Hariti

The demoness turned goddess' story has it origin at the Andhra region of South India where she is still worshipped as a local deity called Erukamma...how did she end up being a Buddhist goddess is probably another story...

The Eternal bond...

The relation of a mother with her child has all the nuances that life can offer...The bond is so strong and beautiful that no other relationship can surpass its beauty or strength.
