Pashupatinath Temple @Kathmandu

     This is the famous Pashupatinath Temple of Kathmandu, Nepal. By tradition the priests of this temple have always been from India. Recently it was in the news due to some remuneration issues regarding the priests. This picture was published in the 'Hindustan Times' and caught my attention. Over the times the temple structure has been surrounded by haphazard construction. Wanted to paint it as it is without omitting any details. However had to be careful lest these structures overwhelm the temple in my painting also! Used a lot of negative areas and light shades to ensure this. Was successful to a large extent. Hope you like this.

    Une peinture absolument magnifique... Une aquarelle très douce avec une grande profondeur... J'aime beaucoup l'harmonie des couleurs qui la compose.
    Gros bisous

    I very much like it, Asit. You have captured the temple well, without overwhelming your work with detail. The surrounding structures are a perfect foil for the temple. And I'm glad to see you painting again!
