GLASS PAINTING ANNAPAKSHI | SHOBITAM

 The Annapakshi is a mythical bird from Indian folklore, often depicted as a divine swan with the plumage of a peacock. Legend says it possesses the unique ability to separate milk from water, symbolizing the virtue of Discrimination (Viveka)—the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood and purity from impurity.

Translating this traditional motif onto glass creates a stunning interplay of light and tradition. Unlike canvas, glass allows the vibrant hues of the Annapakshi—typically Royal Blues, Emerald Greens, and Crimson Reds—to glow with a "stained glass" effect. The use of a Gold 3D Liner mimics the intricate metalwork found in Temple jewelry, giving the piece a regal finish.
