Golden deer

This picture looked so good, serene and appealing to me that I couldn't resist to try painting once again.

A golden deer plays an important role in Hinduism(the epic Ramayana) . While in exile in the forest, Rama's wife Sita sees a golden deer and asks Rama and Lakshmana to get it for her. The deer is actually a rakshasa called Maricha in disguise. Maricha takes this form to lure Rama and Lakshmana away from Sita so his nephew Ravana can kidnap her.

In Hindu mythology, the goddess Saraswati takes the form of a red deer called Rohit according to the Aitareya Upanishad. Saraswati is the goddess of learning so learned men use deer skin as clothing and mats to sit upon.

Deer hunting is the activity or sport of pursuing deer since ages, and its done in many countries. Please do not kill an animal for fun or pleasure.Life is precious.

Penguins

Penguins are living flightless birds found mostly in Antartica.I recently watched a documentary ( by NGC) on these birds I found it so touching, these birds faces difficulty from nature in every step of its life, day after day and still try to maintain its population so well. It was really appreciable where penguins follow one after the other guided by an emporer penguin. It really amazed me by the fact where the location they live is itself too difficult to imagine.The way the couple exchange they role in protecting their egg from natures play, they starve for months to safe-guard the embryo from different climatic conditions, and eat in turns after long gaps to survive.What a tough life.......really!!!

It was really a nice documentary "MARCH of the PENGUINS" thanks to the people who made it .
