'O Arunachala, the moment I thought of Arunai [the holy town of Arunachala] I was caught in the trap of your grace. Can the net of your grace ever fail?'
The trip to this temple town is imprinted in my mind and I hope and pray that many more such visits will follow (The travel blog about my Tiruvannamalai trip is in my Sulekha blog) I started the above "painting" with acrylics and then added pastels to it. It is in 3 tones and the foothills with the town of Tiruvannamalai and the 4 Gopurams of Arunachaleswar Temple are in silhoutte. The sketch of Bhagawan Ramana Maharishi was my introduction to Him. When a friend asked me to draw Bhagawan, I did so attracted to those eyes in every stroke. The sketch is with her now but the devotion remained.
