Murals distinguish the folk art of Kerala. A fine tradition to be found in the temples and palaces dotting the Malabar Coast, the earliest examples are to be found in Tirunandikkara and Tiruvanchikulam, dating from the ninth to the twelfth centuries. The one you see on this page is a contemporary specimen of this ancient means of art and conforms to the post-fifteenth-century style of Kerala murals. Done on canvas for portability (murals are characterised by the permanence of the chosen medium), it depicts an ethereal image of Lord Krishna. As the range of ancient artistic expressions practiced in the subcontinent, the themes are predominantly spiritual, to which rule this handpicked Kerala mural is no exception.
It depicts the Lord's much-celebrated victory over the multi-hooded naga (snake) namely Kaliya, who was banished by Lord Garuda to a corner of the Yamuna river. He grabs the serpent-villain by the tail and dances over his helpless hood, leaving His footmarks on the vanquished one. The waters of the disheveled Yamuna swirl around them as witnesses to this historic episode. The same has been depicted with simple cloud-like curves filled in with a powdery blue blending out into white. The vibrant color palette of the Lord's form in the foreground makes a powerful, aesthetic statement. The shocks of fiery orange vines that flank His expressive face, His superbly gathered composure in the midst of battling evil, and the matching peacock feather-crested crown and shringar, complete the picture of Hinduism's most charming deva.
