Description
This exquisite painting from Odisha centers upon the divine pair of Murlidhar Krishna and Radha, embodying profound love and spiritual devotion. Murlidhar, meaning the bearer of the flute, depicts Krishna in his iconic form as a celestial musician, captivating all creation with his melody. Surrounding them are the Dashavatara, the ten principal incarnations of Lord Vishnu, each represented to signify cosmic order and the protection of dharma. These include Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki, rendered with the distinctive stylization and iconography characteristic of the region.
Crafted by the skilled hand of Rabi Behera from Puri, this painting is a prime example of the traditional Paata painting from Orissa, known globally as Pattachitra. The medium involves painting on a treated cloth canvas, or ‘paata,’ meticulously prepared with layers of tamarind gum and chalk to achieve a smooth, durable surface. The artist employs natural colors derived from mineral and plant sources, applied with delicate brushes, showcasing intricate line work, bold outlines, and a vibrant, jewel-toned palette that brings the narrative to life with remarkable precision and expressive detail.
This 13x13 inch work is a singular, handcrafted original, reflecting the unique vision and artistic mastery of Rabi Behera, unlike any mass-produced print. Each stroke bears the indelible mark of the artist's hand, ensuring its status as a one-of-a-kind collectible. It ships accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity and includes free insured delivery across India, guaranteeing its safe arrival.
