Meera In Dark




Meera - The divine lover. Somehow, I was very attracted towards this hindu deity, not just because she's a woman ;) but her subtility and the eternal wait for her Love. I used the Chittorgarh temple Meera's idol picture as a model for my painting below.


Guess what ?? My painting has a flaw ...( Well i know it has a lot of flaws :), but this flaw is evident).


Isn't something missing in this picture ??



Well i forgot to justify the title.. I named this amateurish painting of mine as "Meera in Dark"..

I'm not good in figure drawing and so i decided to work on a silhoutte.. I was told that Meera, is a divine woman who sings for her Lover, Lord Vishnu..

In this painting, She not only sings for her lover but also for her identity in dark, just like me :). Many of us try for identity not even realising it's dark..

So that's "Meera in Dark" for you ...
