Early life and background
Kalamandalam Bindhulekha is a diploma holder in Mohiniyattam and Bharathanatyam and has graduated from Kerala Kalamandalam. She took up mural painting, after having been attracted by the work of her brother-in-law, Sadanandan, a disciple of Mammiyur Krishnan Kutty Nair[3] and was trained in the genre for six years.[citation needed]
Art career
Her debut work in Tiroor Vadakurumbakaavu temple in Thrissur is considered the first mural painting to be done in a Kerala temple by a woman artist.[citation needed] It took two years to complete the mural painting which consisted of three forms of Devi - Saraswati (in shades of white), Bhadrakali (in shades of dark blue) and Mahalakshmi (in shades of red). The painting was based on the theme "Rajas tamas satva".[4]
