Mysuru: A rare collection of paintings inspired by Upanishads and Adi Sankaracharya’s Soundarya Lahari are on display at the Mysuru Art Gallery. Retired Art teacher Hunasagahalli Jayadeva, 72, has given a new dimension to the Upanishads and Soundarya Lahari, the shlokas contained in these scriptures and there are nearly 50 of them on display at the gallery.
The paintings are rich and done in bright colours. According to Jayadeva, Upanishads discuss a way of life and it is not a religion. It tells the people what nature is and how the Universe came into being, thus helping us to understand it better.
