More progress on Dwarapala#2-Panel#8

The third community-based mural installation project of Dhyanasankalpam- depicting scenes from Saint Tyagaraja's 'Nauka Charitam' spanning an area of  250sq ft in size- on the walls of Krishna Temple,Mankave Palace,Calicut.
Once completed,this project will mark the 'return of the narrative and epic-story-telling ' in present -day mural painting.

Once completed, Dhyanasankalpam would undoubtedly be the first and only 'independent'- 'not-for-profit'- initiative -to commission 250sq ft of murals- rivalling those at the Duch Palace,Mattanchery and elsewhere in Kerala.It will also put Calicut on the world map as the beckoning centre for Kerala murals in North Malabar.
Mrs Durga Prabhakar- visited the Krishna temple while work was in progress-today-the second day of 'Dwi-dina All India Hartal' ..
