Re: The Murals-Harmony of colors
Namaste
Nice information on Indian Art.
Happened to come across a nice article on Chitra Sutra , the art (and science) of Painting/Sketching from Vishnu Dharmottara PurANa.
http://ssubbanna.sulekha.com/blog/po...trasutra-4.htm
A specialized section of this Chitra Sutra (Sutra = science, process, mechanism, how to) , is RAgamAlA Paintings,
where pictures of nature, birds, trees, environment with men, women, divine beings are drawn to depict the exact mood of the Classical RAga which the picture portrays - i.e. [HindustAni Classical] Music expressed in the form of Paintings.
This coincides well with PurANic events and paintings of Radha Krshna as well.
