A Dehradun based artist has completed a 49 feet long artwork which will be displayed at the Jammu airport.
Thirty five year old Anshu Mohan is an expert in Pahadi miniature painting style. He lives in the Mathurawala area of Dehradun and has completed a major art project.
He was assigned work of making a 25X3 feet and 23X3 feet painting (total 49X3 feet) painting to be displayed at the Jammu airport. Mohan has now completed the painting.
He has painted a replica series on Krishna-Radha in Basholi style. The artwork for the Jammu airport is a part of the Rasamanjari series.
A 15th century Sanskrit classic Rasamanjari, a long poem with epical stretch but not an epic, is a work by the known Sanskrit poet Bhanudatta. The idea of classifying young damsels indulged in love is as early as the 4th century BCE when in his 'Natyashashtra' sage Bharata attempted at fixing the partitioning lines between different classes.
However, such elaboration as the Rasamanjari reveals was not seen ever before. Mohan is doing his PhD from the Mansingh Tomar University in Gwalior and has done various projects for Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and other reputed institutions.
