Indian Mixed Media Painting

"The mirror beauty" - Darpan Sundari This painting is inspired from one of the most beautiful sculpture from an Indian temple architecture. This magnificent sculpture is carved out of soapstone and is from Chennakesava temple in Belur, Karnataka. The sculpture depicts a beautiful woman, aesthetically decked up in jewellery from head to toe and admiring her beauty in a mirror delicately held in her hand by the metal clamp. The Darpan Sundari features the ‘Ajanta’ hairdo (YES! There were proper names for each of the 648 hairstyles depicted in this temple itself), where the circumference of the hair is larger than the face, thereby giving an appearance of a halo. This statue carved entirely out of stone is known for the aesthetic understanding of human body.
