Four Hands Lord Ganesha with Lord Vishnu's Dashavatara Pattachitra Painting on Cloth

This exceptional Pattachitra painting from Orissa presents Lord Ganesha, the revered deity of wisdom and auspicious beginnings, centrally depicted with his characteristic four arms. Each hand holds symbolic attributes, signifying his divine power and protective grace. Surrounding him are the Dashavatara, the ten primary incarnations of Lord Vishnu, embodying the cyclical preservation of dharma and cosmic balance. The deities are rendered with the distinctive precision and iconic grace inherent to the Pattachitra tradition, capturing their spiritual gravitas within a meticulously structured composition.

This compelling work is by Rabi Behera from Puri, a region celebrated for its Pattachitra tradition. The medium itself, known as 'paata', involves a canvas meticulously prepared from layered cotton cloth stiffened with natural gum and chalk, then polished to a fine, durable surface. Behera's accomplished hand is evident in the painting's confident outlines and the application of vibrant, natural or artist pigments, achieved through the intricate brushwork and fine detailing that define this revered Orissan art form.

This exquisite painting is a one of a kind original, not a print, embodying the unique spirit of traditional Indian artistry. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and handmade nature. We ensure its safe and secure arrival with complimentary insured delivery across India.
