Kanchi Varadaraja Swamy Bramotsavam 2024 Paintings Series

Finally! A very impromptu series done, all with His grace! Varadar didn’t bring me to Kancheepuram for His Brahmotsavam this year too , but I still feel elated because I was atleast able to paint His various alankarams and vahanams of all days!

I consider this series incomplete in a way because I was able to paint only one out of the two vahanams on every day (except on the 3rd day) .

 

Without the most beautiful Venugopala and Nachiyar Thirukolams, lustrous Suriya and Chandra Prabhais, Aalmel Pallaku, Mattai Adi and Vettiver Chapparam (the ones I couldn’t paint), this series can never be fully complete! So, for next year’s Brahmotsavam, “Varadhar Brahmotsavam Painting Series 2.0” will be launched! Never gonna leave you alone, Varada

.

A huge thank you to all the photographers at Kanchi who shared amazing photographs with live updates regularly which I was able to use as references for my paintings! So much gratitude to all of you: @kuttyshreephotography
