Symbolic representation of Lord Pakhangba (depicting one of the Paphal form) in Manipur. I still felt a strong inspiration to draw another symbolic representation of Lord Pakhangba, even after painting the first one.  This is my 2nd attempt.

Symbolic representation of Lord Pakhangba (depicting one of the Paphal form) in Manipur. As I was reading and learning about Manipur, I felt a strong inspiration to draw the symbolic representation I have seen as a child, in Manipur. I finally drew this acrylic painting after looking up many images online and thinking of the different Paphal form..
