Description
-
Central Subject: The piece features a seated Lord Hanuman in a meditative or devotional pose. He is depicted with fair skin, wearing a vibrant red dhoti and an ornate golden crown adorned with pearl-like beads.
-
Iconography:
-
In his right hand, he holds his signature Gada (golden mace), which is heavily textured with relief work to represent its strength and ornamentation.
-
A sacred book is placed before him with the name “Ram” (राम) written in Hindi, signifying his eternal devotion to Lord Rama.
-
He wears long strands of pink and gold necklaces.

-
Lippan Technique: The figure is created using raised white relief paste to define the outlines of his body, clothing, and the objects. This gives the artwork a tactile, three-dimensional quality.
-
Background and Embellishment:
-
The base is a solid, brilliant royal blue, which provides a striking contrast to the red and gold of the figure.
-
The background is sparsely decorated with small, diamond-shaped mirrors.
