Among the palace picture those in the Mattancherry Palace are adjudged by many scholars as structure the best. The structure of the epic narration of Ramayana is visually transformed onto the walls. Most of the human forms have stylized facial expressions and gestures whose origin can be traced to the theatrical elements of acting in Koodiyattam and Kathakali. The wide-open round eyes elongated painted lips, stylized body postures, over ornamentation, hand gestures etc. can be compared with the classical theatre of Kerala. As the patronage connected with feudalism became weak and the aversion towards the caste system imposed on society became stronger among the people , the age old temple culture started eroding in the 20th century. Along with the new pictorial awareness given to us by the British Academic Naturalism, the influence of Ravi Varma's style also peeped into the mural composition in the very few works executed in the 20th century. Confined to the temple walls, the Kerala mural painting could not break the barrier of stereotyped figural and spatial composition till now, but as a number of secular walls have been commissioned by people presently, the Kerala traditional wall painting through very feeble, has growth in style and also in the matter of themes

Paradox Of Our Time

The paradox of our time in history is that we have: taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more; but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less; we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness; we have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; we talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often; we've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years ti life, not life to years; we've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor; we've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals ; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food , but less nutrition.; These are days of two incomes, but more divorce.
