Girija Murali pays a tribute to Muzoon Almellehan and the passion the young girl shows for her cause, calling her The Giver. Girija has titled the painting as Karna, and the work is part of her ‘Mahila Bharat’ series of paintings.
Girija Murali paints folded hands – a gesture that captures myriad emotions of the Indian spirit.
If you are in Tamil Nadu, chances are that you will run into her quite often. She is the quintessential flower girl who fills her basket with the fragrant mallipoo (jasmine) or the colourful kanakambaram (firecracker flower) and is around in almost every street. Girija Murali brings the flower girl alive through her painting.
