Maa Saraswati Madhubani Painting on Paper

Maa Saraswati, the revered Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and learning, is depicted in this exquisite Madhubani painting. As a vital part of the Tridevi, Saraswati is traditionally associated with purity and enlightenment, often portrayed holding a veena, a sacred scripture, and a rosary, typically seated upon a white lotus or a swan. In this artwork, Nishu Singh renders the deity with the characteristic stylised almond eyes and intricate ornamentation, framing her within the traditional double-line borders that are a hallmark of the Mithila art form.

Crafted by artist Nishu Singh from Patna, this Madhubani piece is rendered in vibrant acrylic on paper, a contemporary evolution from its traditional origins. Madhubani art, also known as Mithila painting, historically emerged from the Mithila region of Bihar, where women meticulously adorned the freshly plastered mud walls and floors of their homes for auspicious occasions like weddings and festivals. From the 1960s, this rich tradition transitioned onto handmade paper, preserving its distinct visual language characterised by dense filling, often employing the bharni style with its bold colour applications, and incorporating indigenous motifs of nature such as the lotus and peacock.

This painting is a singular, one-of-a-kind original, not a mass-produced print, representing a direct connection to the artist's hand. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and uniqueness.
