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.
Central Figure: Lord Ganesha is seated in a classic cross-legged posture. He is depicted with four arms, representing his divine powers.
Symbols & Objects: * In his upper hands, he holds what appear to be traditional ritual implements (likely an axe or goad, though stylized).
His lower right hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a gesture of protection and fearlessness.
His lower left hand holds a small pink flower, adding a touch of gentleness to the image.
Attire: He wears a bold, sky-blue vest or wrap over his shoulders and a bright yellow dhoti with green accents. This color contrast makes the figure “pop” against the lighter background.
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.
Thoughts about Mahadev, or Lord Shiva, often revolve around his multifaceted nature as a destroyer and creator, a fierce warrior and a benevolent yogi.
He embodies timelessness, strength, and the ultimate truth, guiding souls beyond darkness. Many find inspiration in his teachings of overcoming fear, surrendering to a higher power, and finding peace within. That’s why I named this painting “The rhythm of the universe”. Acrylic paint on canvas
