Pattabhisheka

Raghupati Bhat works with natural pigments he prepares himself, drawn from flowers, seeds, roots, mud, and bark extracts. These pigments are blended and bound with Vajralepana, a traditional sap used in painting.
Each work is painstakingly detailed, demanding exceptional skill and control. To achieve such fineness, the artist uses a brush fashioned from just a few strands of squirrel hair, allowing lines that are almost impossibly precise.
