PatanjaliAuth 

Patanjali is regarded as an incarnation of the thousand-headed serpent-king named Shesha (Remainder) or Ananta (Endless), whose coils are said to support the god Vishnu. That is why he is presented in a half snake – half man form. He is known as the father of modern yoga, who assimilated existing yoga into a system and put it into a writing form known as yoga sutras.
The painting is made for yoga studio of Nicolas Lespinasse. By paintng Julia tried to follow the traditional iconography there twisted with her own technique based on  henna.
