Pindapatikanga - Practice of going for alms

, , ,

I have discovered this painting! I have forgotten it. I painted this painting many years back. When I checked it with my other painting images and records I realized that it was painted in 2002. I have not seen it for a long time because of its unusual long size and it was hidden by other bigger paintings in my storeroom.

Pindapatikanga is the practice of going for alms by monks. It is one of the 13 ascetic purification-exercises. I think this practice still exist in some Buddhist countries like Thailand and Myanmar.

I have not published this painting before. I'll update it in my Painting 2000 to 2004 websiet in near future. :wink:


Title: Going for Alms 2002. Medium: Acrylic on canvas.
