Kalamandalam Bindhulekha is a mural painter and Mohiniyattam, Bharathanatyam dancer from Kerala state, India. She is the first woman mural painter in temple drawing from Kerala state.

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 and was trained in the genre for six years.

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. 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".
