My Life : Week 6 : Photo 6
Feel the LOVE. Sally Russick's prompt for week 6 of Focus on Life.
I can, whenever I see this picture on the wall, at home. I got this drawing(?) from Bangalore, India, from a sidewalk sale. I paid very less for this, but the place it holds in our life is - well, huge! I dont want to go into much detail about this here, mainly because it is a photo of one our Gods(Yes, India is a land of many, many Gods!), and also because I am not mature enough to 'write' about God. This is Lord Krishna- the epitome of love and romance, and his devotee/Lover (lady-love in correct English) Radha.
PS: Lord Krishna has many many names attributing to his handsomeness, his strengths, his mischiefs etc, and my husband's name is one of those. So that again connects my soul to this story!!
Hope you can look into this picture and feel the love too.

This is the first time ever I am clicking a picture of this.. This one is really worn down on the corners, and I really wish to frame it, but not doing so because then it might not be able to travel with me wherever I go. This has taken some long long journeys with us! And also, it stands as tall as my shoulder, so framing and carrying this around is out of question.. Thats the reason why I could not capture the whole pic too..They are surrounded by a peacock, a deer, and flowers and vines all around. How much more romantic can the scene get?
Now, lets go in search of some more romantic places. On the board with me, to Sally Russick's.
Wow, you carry it along with you!!
ReplyDeleteYes Kashmira, when we first came to US I had it with me. Then it went back to India. Then again after we had a baby we came to US. I forgot many other things of mine since I was concentrating what all I should carry for the baby, but not this one.. :)
DeleteHow wonderful to see this interesting piece of your culture :-)
ReplyDeleteThankyou Lori!
DeleteYes, I can feel the love and the soothing tenderness in their eyes. Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteYou got it! Thankyou..
DeleteI can feel the love you have for this picture.
ReplyDeleteI can just silently wish that the unknown artist behind this, stay inspired forever! If there is good Karma, this wish would definitely reach him/her.
DeleteIt's such a beautiful painting. And it must be so much more beautiful in person when you can see the entire painting. Happy to read, too, about the importance of this painting to you.
ReplyDeleteVery much Cynthia, I keep on looking at it. The beauty is in the details, as they say!
