BRIDE IN WEDDING NIGHT - PAINTING -10

                                                                                                                                                         

The Bride in the painting is typical Kerala style of dressmaking and ceremonial gesture in the first night celebration of the Kerala wedding style.This practice was followed in the 1950s era in our Kerala state .This was followed by Nair, Brahmin and Thiyya alike in whole of Kerala. This indicates the divine worship style of Nataraja posture in Kamakhya (kamakshi) dance style.

The Bride wears red sari and golden yellow blouse with yellow lining for the sari. Her ornaments include Nagaphana thali ,naga thalla, arenjaanam and gandharva gutika forehead ornament. This shows her ability to attract the groom towards her. The third eye-inline style shows her charismatic meditative mindset.

The clue in the picture is that she is taking the initiative to join and mingle with her husband (the shoulder gesture of the kalari tradition)
