Chandralekha!

Posted by Sriram (Chennai, India) on 25 June 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Egmore museum's front view! The title aptly chosen from Mani's Thiruda Thiruda Song "Chandralekha" composed gorgeously by A.R.Rahman wherein this piece of architecture was the backdrop for some phenomenal lighting translated sensationally into 70mm by another genius P.C.Sreeram!

Do check out some of the themes that I have worked on in the past, esplly:

Very impressive indeed! I will search for the names you mentioned. The thing I have with India is Sanskrit (my wife studies it), and the music: Ravi Shankar and the Bhagavad Gita, partly set to music by Vanraj Bhatia, even though I don't understand it (I read the translation when listening) it brings me into contact with the Supreme. The building also radiates this atmosphere: not harsh and stern, but friendly and harmonious, yet divine.

@Erik: Sanskrit is a very old language and very intersting and has a rich grammatical structure! Wonderful to here that your wife studies it. And even more nice to here that you read Bhagavad Gita and hear to Pandit Ravi Shankar and Vanraj Bhatia, exponents and Ravishankar a Genius in Indian classical music.
