Shankuntala and Bharatha



Hindu mythology has many good stories. We have to go to the beginning of our wonderful country which was named after the son of Shakuntala. As the story goes Shankuntala was married to King Dushyantha. Due to a curse they both were separated. Shankuntala gave birth to Bharatha in sage Kanva's hermitage. One day Bharatha was playing with the lion cubs in front of his mother. My inspiration came through this thought and innocence of the little boy and his struggling mother.I have painted my inspiration in a water color palette.
