Ellora

The paintings at Ellora covered the ceilings and walls of the mandapas and represent not only the iconographic forms but also the lovely floral designs and animals and birds entwinning in the patterns.The Nataraja here is a splendid example of chalukya type.The figure is multiarmed and the dance is in the chatura pose.The Jain cave towards the end of the group of caves at Ellora has its entire surface of ceiling and wall covered with paintings with a wealth detail.

Rajasthani Painting

 The Rajastani Scool of Art is a  natural outcome of a long sequence of art tradition.The Rajput paintings were more in tune with the throbbing life around , simple ,with direct appeal to the peasant and the common folk.In the palaces at Jaipur  and Udaipur ,there are wall paintings which show how wonderfully the painter of this school produced large murals.Universal in appeal ,deeply religious and mystic , true interpreters of phases of nature in her different moods , Rajasthani paintings evoke themes whose appeal goes direct to the heart.The  miniatures that comprise the Rajasthani school found in such profusion in several art galleries of India and the world ,didnot ,strangely enough ,orginate as miniatures.

SWARA

Sound becomes music only when it holds a specific connotation among other sound along with rhythm.The basic swara in Indian music is called Shadaj.Shadaj is also known as the basic swara.In Indian music the swaras are not related with a fixed pitch unlike the western music.

Modern Indian Painting

 Modern Indian Paintings reflect the complexity of modern life .because Modern Indian Painters are city dwellers and not free from the complexities of modern life.Intellectually they accept the tenets of modern art , as much as they share the experience of modern man.Raja Ravi Varma of Kerala gained much reputation in the period through his paintings of portraiture and mythological subjects.Abanindranath tried to re-create a national style in painting.He assiduously experimented in techniques of Indian miniature,fresco , scroll and pata paintings.

Gaganendranath studied the pictorial possibilities.he experimented with Cubism and Coalescence of forms.Amrita Shergil symbolizes the interaction of Indian and European tradition that is visible in the bulk of modern Indian Painting.

KATHAKALI

https://vbbhagyaraj.blogspot.com The genesis of the word Kathakali is generally traced to a combination of Katha and Keli , the literal meaning of which is generally is dance-drama.This dance form, curiously ,is an exclusive domain of the male dancers.Even female roles in the story line are performed to perfection by male artists.The artists who perform Kathakali do not sing the lines themselves.The dance is performed all through the night on the stage which is simply yet specially designed for Kathakali.A large brass lantern is invariably hung on the stage.The beginning of the performance is preceded by Chaidakaran, a ritual playing of drums.

The face is mostly painted with red and yellow and the eyes and eye-lashes are adorned with lines in white all around.These white lines are known as cuttee.The head-dress in Kathakali is of special significance as it also defines the hierarchical status of different artists participating in the performance.
