VEENA RECITAL - PAINTING -3

This Painting is famous work of legendary Painter from the Kerala Royal Tradition of Art ,Raja ravi varma .

The Lady clearly plays music which is based at throat chakra .Here it becomes extremely attractive since the neck element is believed to be invisible to human perception as per the Kerala Kalari tradition. 

Now let us analyze the art in our way of interpretation. The Lady is relaxing after shower and the Gandharva instrument of Chitra-veena is very pleasing to hear.This shows that the Lady is extremely gracious in her looks and attitude.

The difficult part arises here ,since She has nose-ornament ,which indicates adherence to social norms as per the Bharatanatyam dance school of South India. The third eye way of perfect in-line vision suggests She is of Royal attitude of that time.Hence here is the final vedict.

She has revived the music tradition by combining the South Indian Canaric style with the North Indian Indo-Persian Art style
