Description
The Krishna Lila tells the story of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. Filled endearing, inspiring and terrifying scenes, it narrates the antics of Krishna as a baby, his role as the protector of the inhabitants of Vrindavan, and his adventures as a youth. Parida captures the beauty of the Ras Lila amid celebratory scenes of Krishna dancing with the gopis.
About The Dancing Line by Bijay Parida
National award-winning artist Bijay Parida's patachitras are based on on India's well-known mythologies. His work draws from themes central to Odisha's art and dance: the Shada Ritu (six seasons), Lord Vishnu's dashavatar, the Gita Govinda, the avatars of the gods Jagannatha and Balabhadra, and the two great epics: the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Birds, foliage, animals, figures and garments are captured in great detail on tussar silk. Parida's use of mineral pigment distinguishes his work from artists; who now increasingly use commercially available paint. The result is a world brimming with vibrant narratives.
