Description

This striking Pattachitra from Orissa presents a potent dual iconography, featuring the beloved Four-Hands Lord Ganesha alongside the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, the Dashavatara. Ganesha, revered as the remover of obstacles and deity of auspicious beginnings, is depicted with his traditional mount, the rat, symbolising wisdom's mastery over desire. The surrounding Dashavatara narrate Vishnu's periodic descents to Earth to uphold dharma, illustrating divine intervention throughout cosmic epochs. Rendered with the characteristic clarity and devotional intensity of Pattachitra, the figures are delineated with precise lines and expressive forms.

Masterfully executed by Rabi Behera from Puri, a revered hub for this traditional art form, this painting is a quintessential example of Paata painting from Orissa. The medium, a specially prepared cloth canvas, allows for the vibrant application of natural colours. Visible brushwork showcases the artisan's control, with each detail, from the intricate jewellery of Ganesha to the distinctive attributes of each avatar, meticulously rendered through generations-old techniques. The bold outlines and rich colour palette are hallmarks of this ancient craft, testifying to its enduring visual power.

As a cherished, one-of-a-kind original, this painting stands apart from any print, offering an authentic piece of India's artistic heritage. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and unique status.
