This design I made today. It is freehand using coloured kola mavu.
In lIlASuka's SrIkRshNa karNAmRtam, there is a SlOka (sragviNi metre)
which runs like this:
aMganA maMganA maMtarE mAdhavO
mAdhavaM mAdhavaM cAMtarE nAMganA
ittha mAkalpitE maMDalE madhyagaH
saMjagau vENunA dEvakInaMdanaH
He stands between two dancing damsels
and there is a woman between two identities of His
At the centre of the circle constructed thus
dEvakI's son plays the flute,
O, what a divine melody!
This is the first poem in rAsakrIDAshTakam.
I cannot draw peacocks like many of you.
I thought a feather will do to represent Him.
Regards! - mOhana
