INDIA---While his political acumen has been the subject of several books, and his speeches the focus of all news channels and newspapers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi now finds himself in the spotlight for an entirely different reason. Amidst his multiple administrative actions, Modi has, albeit for a fleeting moment, traded his policymaking self for an artistic instinct, a few brushstrokes in collaboration with Delhi-based artist Satish Gupta. It is reported that the painting completed with the PM’s inputs has found a patron willing to part with 1.3 crore rupees for the artwork. [link]

Gupta’s painting “Om Namo Shivay” traces its inspiration to the idols of Shiva found at the famous Brihadeeshwara temple in Thanjavur. The temple celebrated a thousand year anniversary in 2010. A representation of the forms of Shiva manifest in the idols of the temple along with a macro image of a Shiva painted amidst the idols, forms the basis of the work.
