Description

This captivating Pattachitra painting depicts the divine union of Murlidhar, an epithet for Lord Krishna playing his enchanting flute, alongside his eternal consort Radha. Their celestial romance, a central theme in Vaishnava devotion, is beautifully rendered against the backdrop of the Dashavatara, the ten principal incarnations of Lord Vishnu. These avatars, ranging from the Matsya fish to Kalki, yet to appear, symbolise Vishnu's periodic descents to Earth to restore dharma and protect creation, presented with the characteristic iconographic precision of Odishan Pattachitra.

This devotional artwork is a masterful example of Pattachitra, meticulously crafted by Rabi Behera from Puri, a renowned center for this ancient art form. The medium, a paata or traditionally prepared cloth canvas, is primed using age-old methods. Pigments derived from natural minerals and vegetables are painstakingly applied with fine brushes, creating crisp outlines, intricate decorative motifs, and a palette of vibrant, saturated colours that distinguish this unique painterly tradition.

This Pattachitra is a one of a kind original, an authentic handmade work of art, not a print or reproduction. It ships directly to you with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and unique status. Enjoy the peace of mind of free insured delivery across India.
