Ramdhara

This is a painting of a source of water in a place called Chamba in Himachal Pradesh. The source of water is called Ramdhara. The water flows from a beautiful metal replica of a lion head attached to a rectangle pipe. The river water is collected in a stone tank and for the convenience of public it is made to flow through a pipe. The flow of the water is continuous and is symbolic as grace of Ram is also incessant. The devotee is accepting the water as prasad and blessings of Shri Ram. The man reflects faith and devotion and a sense of serenity. He is collecting the water in an earthen pot. The artist wants to convey that blessing of Shri Ram is continuously guiding us due to which we are enjoying the bliss of life. This bliss eternally gives a lasting, inner state of ever new, unfading joy to one who attains it. The love and blessings of omnipresent Shri Ram is limitless, the love that even changes the nature. As the name ‘Rama’ changed the character and nature of Ratnakar, the dacoit into Valmiki the great epic poet, in the same manner the rough boulder has turned into a smooth rock just by being near Ramdhara. The artist wants to say that if someone has faith, no matter what the circumstances are; nature will create the means by which one shall have its wish fulfilled with the blessings of Shri Rama. The man looks as he is from northeast India with straight hair and bulging eye. The man is clean shaven with drooping mustaches. He has a very shapely thin brow which are very slightly bridging together. The devotee is bald in the upper part of the head. He is wearing a small ring with a pearl ball hanging in it and a string of grey beads in his neck. The sadhu has prominent cheeks and centrally recessed chin. Due to water of Ramdhara small animals and bushes have flourished. A pink and green frog, a tulsi plant with new flowers and few mushroom are also enjoying the presence of Ramdhara. There is a big tree with aerial roots and far away the bright evening sky is getting darker.
