The introductory classes for temple art, led by Jayakumar, have garnered an overwhelming response and have evolved into an independent art movement now. He integrates temple art training with visits to various temples, which promotes a communal atmosphere among his students, who now form a large and dedicated group.
Understanding temples is crucial for both devotion and worship. A temple can be compared to a book, and individuals who lack knowledge of temple art are akin to being illiterate while standing before that book. This training acts as a form of literacy education, helping people grasp the meaning and significance contained within that book.
Understanding temples holds significance not only for religious individuals but also for those who identify as non-religious. It serves as a form of cultural education, as the art, literature, and history of our tradition are embedded within these sacred spaces. Temples can be likened to our subconscious, housing deep cultural insights. This training aims to facilitate that understanding.
