INDIA---Athira Sajith has captured the essence of the book 18 Puranangal in mural-like art. Self-taught Athira Sajith’s task was “daunting” from the very beginning. She had to convey the essence of 18 of the main Puranas on canvas, as art work to accompany 18 Puranangal, an unabridged Malayalam translation of the ancient Sanskrit treatises that is being published by DC Books. “The beauty of the Puranas is that they are open to interpretation,” says Athira.
