on sale! $76.46
Bharti Dayal juxtaposes warm and cool colors as she depicts Lord Shiva and Parvati as a single being. The beautiful consort of Shiva, Parvati is adored and petitioned by wives seeking a happy married life. Shiva is one of the most complex gods of India, embodying seemingly contradictory qualities - at once the destroyer and the restorer, the ascetic and the symbol of sensuality, the benevolent herdsman of souls and the wrathful avenger. This Madhubani painting expresses the Hindu belief that, after marriage, husband and wife become one in eternity. Executed in vegetable dye on handmade paper in the traditional Mithila style of northern Bihar, it is named Ardh Narishwar (Half Female, Half Male). |
