Lord Sun Sheet, Watercolor Madhubani Painting on Canvas

This compelling Madhubani artwork by Krishna Joshi honours Lord Surya, the Hindu solar deity, revered as the ultimate source of light, warmth, and life itself. Surya is paramount in Hindu iconography, often depicted as a radiant figure traversing the heavens, bestowing energy and vitality upon the world. In this piece, the artist renders the revered Sun God with the characteristic stylised almond eyes and intricate detailing typical of Mithila painting, employing a dense compositional approach that fills the space with symbolic motifs and traditional patterns.

Created by artist Krishna Joshi, this original Madhubani painting utilises watercolour on a canvas sheet. The Madhubani, or Mithila, art tradition hails from the Mithila region of Bihar, where it was historically practised by women on freshly plastered mud walls and floors for ceremonies and festivals. Since the 1960s, this vibrant storytelling tradition has transitioned onto paper and other substrates, preserving its hallmarks: double-line borders, dense filling that leaves no space empty, and iconic motifs such as fish, peacocks, lotus, and serpents.

This unique artwork is a one of a kind original painting, not a print, ensuring its singular artistic value. It comes accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and the artist's hand. We are pleased to offer complimentary insured delivery across India for this exceptional piece.
