    Many scholars consider Brahmacharis as one of Amrita Sher Gil's greatest masterpieces. The painting is a part of the South Indian trilogy that resulted from the artitst's sojourn in the South in 1937. Sher-Gil's experience of the Ajanta murals inspired her visual language at this time particularly in the figuration and gestures.
