The Thought Behind It
This stunning 50×75cm acrylic painting transports viewers to the heart of Kerala’s most magnificent temple festival, Thrissur Pooram. The composition dramatically captures the festival’s centerpiece—a row of ceremonially adorned elephants standing in perfect formation before the traditional red-hued temple structure.
The artist – Bharath Vaidyanathan – masterfully depicts the festival’s most iconic elements: the elephants’ gleaming gold nettipattam (forehead decorations) creating a brilliant line of light against their dark forms, and the vibrant yellow muthukuda (parasols) held above. The temple backdrop with its distinctive sloped roof and architectural details grounds the scene in its sacred context, with lush green trees framing the composition.
Bharath employs a rich palette dominated by golds, reds, greens, and deep grays, with careful attention to light that makes the metallic decorations appear to shimmer. The brushwork balances detail in the ceremonial elements with expressive strokes that convey the festival’s emotional intensity.
This artwork serves as both a striking decorative piece and a cultural artifact, preserving a momentous tradition that represents Kerala’s artistic and spiritual heritage.
The painting is executed on premium-quality canvas, ensuring durability. It ships unframed, allowing you to select framing that complements your space and personal aesthetic. A certificate of authenticity accompanies this original artwork.

Of the Artist
Work and holidays take Bharath to places far and wide and there is much drama and emotion in boardrooms and markets. As an artist, he revels in all of it. Be it chaotic city streets, vibrant festivals, mesmerizing architecture, or just the quaint house down the road, India and the world always fascinates. When one pauses for a moment to soak in the frame, it translates into sheer beauty! One may not actively seek it but acknowledging it when it hits you, sometimes even just momentarily, is a gift to be cherished or well… painted.
Acrylic, watercolour, pen/ink and gouache are his mediums of choice. For over ten years now, Bharath has been exhibiting and shipping his paintings across the world. Some of his most enjoyable work have been custom painting engagements where he builds a painting after weeks of conversation with clients on what they want expressed.
