FRAGMENTS OF A SAKYA WITH A WHITE HORSE - 01
This piece comes from memories of my village.
Of sounds I grew up around.
Tavil. Nadaswaram. Rituals. Dust. Colour.
Of Periyandavar standing tall through generations,
and the Seven Kannis who continue to exist in our stories, symbols and ceremonies.
Over time, I started questioning where these histories came from, what survived, what changed, and what was renamed.
This work is part memory,
part searching,
part reclaiming.
Give me same kind of additional information for this

About The Work
Periyandavar and Yezhu Kanni emerges from memories of village rituals, oral histories and inherited symbols.
At its center are two presences that have existed across generations of Tamil folk tradition: Periyandavar and the Seven Kannis. For many communities, they remain living figures carried through festivals, songs, offerings and collective memory.
Rather than depicting these figures literally, the work approaches them as fragments of remembrance. Forms appear and disappear. Bodies dissolve into landscape. Symbols emerge from colour and gesture before slipping away again.
The painting is rooted in a personal journey that began with devotion and later expanded into historical inquiry. Questions about ancestry, forgotten histories, folk traditions and Buddhist memory gradually became intertwined with childhood experiences of village worship.
This work exists within that space.
Between memory and history.
Between faith and investigation.
Between the stories we inherit and the stories we spend a lifetime trying to understand.
Part family archive.
Part village memory.
Part unfinished question.
