The background shows a lush green acacia tree which contrasts the baked stone monastery in the distance which sets up over the hill on the top right of the art. The sky is filled with smoke and clouds and is tinged a dusty yellow to give a picturesque scene with the amazing blend of colors that happens with the wide chromatic plethora.

This painting is enclosed in a double layered border one of which is very thin and is imprinted with golden floral designs as it is contrasted with a bright orange background. The outer border is also embossed with with plant designs, but it is stamped with 6 young men and 1 old man, all of them wear jamas and holding books whilst they sit at a distance from each other.

The other three men have long waist length beards ranging from black to grey as one of them recites religious beads with his orange dhoti going below his hips. The one on the left wears a rose gold toga which envelops him as he sits beside another Sadhu who appears to be their Chief, wearing a dhoti along with an angavastram and a bright orange shawl.

The Majesty Of Lord Pashupatinath

Lord Pashupatinath is a specific manifestation of the multi-roopi Lord Shiva. Housed in an ancient temple of Kathmandu valley, it is a confluence of all five aspects of Him: Lord Sadyojata, Lord Vamadeva, Lord Tatpurusha, Lord Aghora, and Lord Ishana. Indeed, the tall and stately sculpture that you see on this page captures the majesty of Lord Pashupatinath.

His legs are overlain with an richly embellished ornate dhoti, sashes descending from either side of His hips on the polished surface of the pedestal.

Memory Of A Woman

A young woman emerges in the dreams of her lover. She is doubled up within the folds of a white silk sheet, which she holds in place with a single hand. Her wheatish, lifelike hand clutches at the sheet over the creases that betray her restlessness. Her face is contorted with misery, a misery that has driven her to the brink of insanity.

Over the white of the fabric spreads the length of her wavy black hair, its mass and colour painted with considerable skill. Note the detail of her wide-set brow and the aquiline nose of her face, which convey that she is a handsome woman. The lines on her upper cheeks and the whites of her eyes are as if caught amidst a bout of convulsive sobbing.

Perhaps the lover knows well how she had suffered in his absence. She had written expressive letters where she described in great detail the travails of going through life without him next to herself. Those letters, old and aged and yellowed, are lying in his drawer, and it is from those musty handwritten papers that the memory of her rises to haunt him.
