DhyanaSankalpam-an OpenStudio

Dhyanasankalpam is an Openstudio for Indian (Kerala) murals,and here we regard the pursuit of pure aesthetic experience,as Yoga. Its an exalted experience not just for the individual artist but for the whole community and even humanity, that which touches and consorts with every aspect of Indian life. We at Dhyanasankalpam create works that would last a millennium or two if not for posterity, like the murals of Ajanta.All that you have to ensure for us are walls that would last just as long.

Steady progress on the canvas at the open studio

Summer is in.Day 10 begins with Guru Sasi Edavarad pointing out the fine details to be kept in mind while working on the ornaments and folds of the dress and other embellishments:

The boys as usual, leave after a while for a game of football, leaving Dr Reghuraj to unwind at the canvas:

A game of football

Navneet, the youngest member of the open studio , is packing up his crayons to leave.

The football lands in the pond, Sudev , with an Agassi -hairdo-and his friend come to take a look as Panini ,removes his shirt to enter the temple and retrieve the ball from the pond.The regular residents of the pond,viz., water snakes,frogs,fish and tortoises take a plunge and disappear in a trice.
