Shiva Parvati

Shiva Parvati

Size - H36 * W48 inches

Shiva is a multi-faceted God, both celibate and a devoted spouse to Parvati. Known as the destroyer, following Brahma the creator and Vishnu the preserver, he is responsible for change and transformation. His relationship with Parvati is beautifully depicted in various forms, with her being the balancing factor in his life. Even when Shiva is angry, Parvati's calming presence helps him find balance. Despite his asceticism and temper, Parvati brings out the role of a devoted householder in Shiva.

Kalamkari utilizes a rich array of natural hues, from earthy reds and blues to vibrant greens and yellows derived from completely natural sources such as Indigo (blue), madder roots (red), pomegranate seeds or mango bark (yellow), and myrobalam roots (black).

With its expertly crafted design featuring a white backdrop and contrasting black and red colors, this artwork exudes subtle sophistication while making a bold statement in its depiction.

General Information

Pichwai (pichvai) is a style of painting that originated over 400 years ago, in the town of Nathdwara near Udaipur in Rajasthan, India. Intricate and visually stunning, pichwai paintings, made on cloth, depict tales from Lord Krishna's life. Creating a pichwai can take several months, and requires immense skill, as the smallest details need to be painted with precision. Lord Krishna is often depicted as Shrinathji in Pichwais, which is the deity manifest as a seven-year-old child. Other common subjects found in pichwai paintings are Radha, gopis, cows and lotuses. Festivals and celebrations such as Sharad Purnima, Raas Leela, Annakoot or Govardhan Puja, Janmashtami, Gopashtami, Nand Mahotsav, Diwali and Holi are frequently depicted in Pichwais.
