Standing Four Hands Lord Ganesha Pattachitra Painting on Cloth by Rabi Behera

This exquisite traditional Indian painting features the revered Lord Ganesha, depicted standing with his characteristic four hands. Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity, holds profound significance in Hindu tradition as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. His four hands symbolize his divine power, ability to grant boons, and mastery over the four cardinal directions. The artwork renders the deity with the distinct stylistic elements of Orissa's rich artistic heritage, presenting a figure imbued with sacred energy and benevolent grace.

Created by the skilled hand of artist Rabi Behera from Puri, this piece exemplifies the time-honoured technique of Pattachitra. The term 'Paata' refers to the traditional cloth canvas, meticulously prepared with a coating of chalk and tamarind gum to achieve a smooth, leather-like surface. Behera employs natural colours derived from mineral and vegetable sources, applied with fine brushes to create the signature vibrant hues and crisp outlines. This careful adherence to ancestral methods results in a painting that is both visually striking and deeply rooted in artistic legacy.

This Ganesha Paata painting is a singular, one of a kind original work, not a reproduction or print. It comes accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and originality.
