Description
This is a detailed pen-and-ink style drawing of the **Padmanabhaswamy Temple** in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The artwork captures the temple’s iconic **Dravidian-style gopuram** (gateway tower) in the background, which is highly ornate with intricate sculptural elements. In the foreground, you can see traditional Kerala-style architecture with sloping tiled roofs, small waterfront pavilions, and lush trees including coconut palms. The entire scene is reflected in a serene body of water, suggesting the **temple tank**, which is typical in South Indian temple complexes. The drawing is rich in texture and uses cross-hatching to convey depth, shadow, and foliage density, giving it a classic, timeless aesthetic. Size of painting :20x28inches / When framed with a 3inch border 3inch and 0.5inch wood frame, the painting will be approx 27x35 inches
