Sitting Four Hands Gajanana at Center with Lord Vishnu's Ten Incarnations (Dashavatara) Pattachitra Painting on Cloth

The painting presents a majestic Gajanana, the elephant-headed deity Ganesha, centrally enthroned with four hands, symbolising his omnipotence and his role as the remover of obstacles and bestower of wisdom. Encircling this primary figure are the Dashavatara, the ten principal incarnations of Lord Vishnu. These avatars, including Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, and Rama, each represent Vishnu's descent to Earth in different epochs to restore cosmic balance and protect dharma. This vibrant composition captures the divine pantheon with iconic clarity and devotional fervour, rendered in a distinctive traditional Indian style.

Crafted by artist Rabi Behera from Puri, this piece is a distinguished example of Paata painting from Orissa, executed on treated cloth using natural or artist colours meticulously prepared and applied. Behera's skilled hand is evident in the precise, bold outlines and the flat, yet rich, colour application, characteristic of this regional medium. The intricate detailing, particularly in the divine attributes and adornments, showcases a deep understanding of traditional iconography and a masterful command of fine brushwork, all hallmarks of a deeply rooted artistic practice.

As a singular, handmade original, this painting offers a rare opportunity to own a unique artefact of Indian artistic heritage, distinct from any reproduction. It comes accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and originality.
