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.
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.
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.
