Ethereal Colours of Sound

Commissioned by: Petronas
Year: 2007


"Ethereal Colours of Sound" is a series of paintings based on chakras. This series is under the collection of Prince Court Medical Center, one of the largest private hospitals in Klang Valley which is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.



What are chakras? How are these paintings done?

Chakras are vibratory points in the body and each one of us possess a specific dominant chakra within us. Using the veenai, Jeganathan plays the name of a person and identifies his/ her sound pattern. Later, this sound pattern is used to specify the sound chakra of that person. Upon client's request or advice from Jeganathan, this sound chakra is translated into a painting, to suit the client's needs. Chakra paintings, according to Jeganathan, possess healing properties and has the ability to create a positive vibration for the owner.

Jega captures sound on canvas

Jeganathan has a very unique passion for sound. What he means by sound here is not the sound of music, but sound appreciation. "Music is about melodies and lyrics but sound is about emotional patterns, " says Jeganathan. Thus, he does not consider himself as a musician, eventhough he can play the veenai and tambura.

Jeganathan has been conducting studies on sounds and has discovered the points where sounds are produced in the body. Using this, he has done paintings to depict the sounds (pic). For example, he says that the note "sa" starts from the chakra in the stomach and ascends upwards till it reaches the head.

sa (white), ri (red), ga (orange), ma (yellow), pa (green), ta (indigo), ni (violet), sa(black)


Jeganathan shares this knowledge with his students, both the young and adult through his sound appreciation class which is held every fridays, from 7.00pm to 8.30 pm. He teaches them how to chant basic mantras in the correct manner and to invoke the chakras which helps to create a balance within themselves.
