The Nagas

The painting is an expression of part of a huge gathering of Naga Sadhus, during the Holy Dip, Kumbhamela. I have captured their strong yet devotional expressions. Lot of Gray is used in this painting as their bare bodiies and hair are smeared by ash of dead bodies. Other peculiar features shown in this composition are bare bodies, long hair and hair locks. Immense sacrifices of material things and their devotion towards Lord inspired me to this work.
