Nritya Mandala

Blue-clad dancers ring the outer edges of this luminous composition while at the centre a blazing pink and orange flower of figures pulses with energy. The painting captures the ecstatic momentum of classical Indian dance — each figure frozen mid-gesture yet collectively implying ceaseless motion. Puli Vijaya Kishore uses the mandala form not as symbol but as choreography, and the result is a canvas that genuinely hums.

Original watercolour on paper. One-of-a-kind.
