BODY

• Body is a framework,shape structure.
• A mask
• It is a temple
• Body signifies change
• It could be a water body,body of a car gadgets etc.
• Life and death
• Pancha mahabhuta
• Abuse
• your own imagination      

The painting is a representation of pancha mahabhuta. It conveys that everything in the physical creation is composed of 5 elements. Akash (ether) being the first one,followed by Vayu (air),Agni (fire),Jala (water),and lastly Prithvi (earth).

p.s lot of muscle power is needed for wall painting ;)


None of the paintings we saw had a realistic representation of body. In kishangarh the eyes resemble crescent moon, in miniatures the lower body is small, in gond and some bundi paintings different bodies are combined together but they still look absolutely stunning.
