This is a beautiful and intricate charcoal or graphite sketch of Radha Raman Ji, a highly revered self-manifested deity of Lord Krishna. The artist has captured the divine and “tribhanga” (three-fold bending) posture with a lot of devotion and technical detail.
This intricately detailed mandala radiates a peaceful landscape core, symbolizing the earth’s natural rhythm. The earthy tones and vibrant greens & blues evokes a deep connection to the natural world. The central image of peaceful landscape invites the viewers to connect with the earth’s grounding energy, while the outer layers symbolize the spiritual protection & guidance that surrounds us.
This painting follows the Pichwai tradition of Rajasthan, characterized by its bold colors and focus on the shringar (decoration) of the deity. The use of high-contrast colors makes the deity appear to “glow” against the red backdrop.
The portrait focuses on the serene face of Lord Shiva with his eyes closed, conveying a sense of profound inner stillness and tranquility. Three horizontal lines of sacred ash are clearly visible on his forehead. A small, white crescent moon is centered just below the sacred ash lines. He has long, flowing dark hair, with a single lock draped gracefully over his forehead. He wears large hoop earrings and multiple strands of rudraksha beads around his neck.
