Maa Shatakshi - Goddess of Nourishment Madhubani Painting on Paper by Nishu Singh

Nishu Singh's Madhubani painting reverently portrays Maa Shatakshi, the revered Goddess of Nourishment. This divine form of the Mother Goddess is celebrated for her benevolence, sustaining all life and bestowing abundance upon the earth. In this particular rendering, Maa Shatakshi is depicted with the characteristic Madhubani stylisation, including the distinctive almond-shaped eyes that convey both grace and inner strength. Her form is likely adorned with traditional motifs such as the lotus or fish, symbols often associated with purity, prosperity, and fertility within the rich visual lexicon of Mithila art. The artwork exemplifies the art form's dedication to dense filling, ensuring a vibrant, intricate surface where no space is left empty, creating a truly absorbing visual narrative.

This striking artwork is meticulously executed by artist Nishu Singh from Patna, using acrylic colors on cold pressed 300gsm paper. Madhubani, or Mithila art, originates from the Mithila region of Bihar, where it was traditionally created by women on the freshly plastered mud walls and floors of their homes for weddings, festivals, and other auspicious occasions. Since the 1960s, these intricate narrative traditions have been translated onto paper, allowing the art form to reach a wider audience. Nishu Singh's technique demonstrates the classic hallmarks of Madhubani, featuring prominent double-line borders and often employing the 'bharni' style, characterised by its bold, vibrant colour filling that brings the divine subject to life.
