24" x 48"
Acrylic on Canvas
The painting Nadhbramha captures the sacred essence of Tirupati bells, resonating with the spiritual energy of devotion and divine sound. The bells, suspended in mid-air, symbolise the celestial vibrations that echo through temples, carrying prayers to the divine. Each bell represents a call to the higher self, inviting introspection, gratitude, and surrender. The intricate detailing and structured polygonal technique bring movement and depth to the piece, reflecting the rhythmic chime that fills temple corridors.
The colour scheme is rich and evocative, dominated by warm golds and deep reds that signify divinity, energy, and reverence. The golden hues of the bells glow with a sense of purity and sanctity, while the reds and oranges in the background create an aura of spiritual warmth and devotion. Contrasting blues and greens add balance, representing harmony and the cosmic connection between sound and silence. The stitched lines across the polygons are reminiscent of the threads of tradition, binding faith and artistry into a unified visual experience.
The name Nadhbramha is deeply rooted in Indian philosophy, where "Nadh" signifies sound and "Bramha" represents the supreme cosmic force. Together, they embody the transcendental power of sound as a medium of divine connection. The painting reflects the belief that sacred sound is not just heard but felt, resonating through the soul and the universe. This artwork serves as a tribute to the spiritual symphony that temple bells create, awakening the mind and uplifting the spirit.
