Description

Over the years I have done several paintings portraying Jain Religion (mainly practiced in India) Philosophies such as Ahinsa, Aparigrah, Parigrah, Anekantwaad, and Shatt Leshya. These Jain paintings have been done in modern contemporary style, different from the traditional that one sees often in Jain temples. In this painting the philosophy of Aparigrah has been depicted. It means renouncing, or detaching, or possessing less . Main color of the painting is the spiritual saffron color. The horizontal strokes, similar to lying down of the body, depict the tranquility achieved when one possesses less of worldly matters.
