Haritha Sangeerthanam: A Green Symphony of Art and Memory
Haritha Sangeerthanam by V.D. Selvaraj is more than a book—it’s a gentle walk through the vivid world of Murali Nagapuzha, Kerala’s own celebrated artist of picturesque and nostalgic memories blending many facets of man and nature. With pages echoing the textures of the flora and fauna with emotion, this beautifully crafted work unveils the journey of a self-taught artist whose brush dances between nature and nostalgia.
From village greens to leafy courtyards, Nagapuzha’s artworks bring alive scenes that feel both familiar and dreamlike. His ability to blend human life with the pulse of nature has touched hearts worldwide—and this book captures that essence with grace.
Enriched with articles by noted voices like Satchithanandan, Anita Nair, Selvaraj and Raveendran, Haritha Sangeerthanam becomes a multidimensional tribute to both the man and his art.
Nature’s Whisper in Colour
Murali Nagapuzha’s works are more than just “realistic”. To label them as hyper-realistic or photo-like is to overlook their quiet power. His canvases blend humans and nature with a poet’s rhythm, creating scenes that sway with emotion and meaning. There’s something deeper hidden in every petal and shadow—something that speaks, if you pause to listen.
This book, like the artist’s brush, honours the unseen connections around us. It doesn’t just show his paintings—it lets us feel their silence.
