==Early life and background==<br />
Kalamandalam Bindhulekha is a diploma holder in [[Mohiniyattam]] and [[Bharathanatyam]] and has graduated from [[Kerala Kalamandalam]]. She took up [[mural]] painting, after having been attracted by the work of her brother-in-law, Sadanandan, a disciple of [[Mammiyur Krishnan Kutty Nair]]<ref>{{cite news|title=The mural of the story|url=http://archives.deccanchronicle.com/130722/lifestyle-booksart/article/mural-story|accessdate=27 November 2014|newspaper=Deccan Chronicle|date=2013-07-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141204165323/http://archives.deccanchronicle.com/130722/lifestyle-booksart/article/mural-story|archive-date=4 December 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> and got trained in the genre for six years.<br />
<br />
==Style==<br />
Bindhulekha’s work is mainly about blending the traditional mural painting and the contemporary art to give it a modern feel. Some of her mural works sport new styles and unusual colours such as blue.<br />
<br />
==Art career==<br />
Her debut work in Tiroor Vadakurumbakaavu temple in [[Thrissur]] is considered the first mural painting to be done in a [[Kerala]] temple by a woman artist. It took two years to complete the mural painting which consisted of three forms of Devi - Saraswati (in shades of white), Bhadrakali (in shades of dark blue) and Mahalakshmi (in shades of red). The painting was based on the theme "Rajas tamas satva".<ref>{{cite news|title=Mural artist to display her paintings|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/mural-artist-to-display-her-paintings/article2345484.ece |accessdate=27 November 2014|newspaper=The Hindu|date=2011-08-11}}</ref> Her first solo show exhibition of mural paintings was conducted in 2004 at Kerala Lalithakala Akademi Art gallery in [[Trichur]].She has also been part of group exhibitions conducted in [[Bangalore]] and [[Mumbai]].<br />
