Devayani Sharmista


Sharmista was given as a maid to Devayani by King Vrushaparva. Devayani was the daughter of shukracharya. Devayani and Sharmista were relaxing with King Vrushaparva's other daughters while Devayani accidently wore Sharmistas clothes. Devayani was humiliated by Sharmista and her sisters as a daughter of a begger. She went home crying to her father Shukracharya. Her father was know to curse. King Vrushaparva was scared of Shukracharyas curse. This is a small story that I tried to tell. If I could explain as to details it might take for ever. My inspiration to paint is Devayani and Sharmista as they both were friends and I think it is very fasinating to bring in old hindu mythology to imagination and picture. This painting is my imagination. I hope I have made full justice to the story and the characters related to this story. The colors that I wanted to bring in to this picture are very life like which are blue, green, yellow, red with a lot of texture and detail.
