About the work
This is a detailed pen-and-ink style drawing of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The artwork captures the temple’s iconic Dravidian-style gopuram (gateway tower) in the background, which is highly ornate with intricate sculptural elements. In the foreground, you can see traditional Kerala-style architecture with sloping tiled roofs, small waterfront pavilions, and lush trees including coconut palms. The entire scene is reflected in a serene body of water, suggesting the temple tank, which is typical in South Indian temple complexes. The drawing is rich in texture and uses cross-hatching to convey depth, shadow, and foliage density, giving it a classic, timeless aesthetic. Size of painting:20x28inches.
