Purple Bird 'Bhodro Mohila' Kalighat Pat Artwork (Unframed) 12" x 14"

In this vibrant Kalighat Pat painting, a graceful woman named Bibi stands elegantly adorned with jewels, capturing the essence of traditional Indian beauty and opulence. Bibi wears a splendid striped saree, each stripe carefully detailed. The saree drapes gracefully around her, accentuating her figure and adding a sense of movement to the composition.

Bibi's attire is complemented by an array of dazzling jewels adorning her neck, ears, and wrists, reflecting the light with a mesmerising brilliance. Her expression is serene yet confident, reflecting the poise and dignity of a woman comfortable in her own beauty and heritage.

With one hand delicately holding the edge of her 'ghoonghat', or veil, Bibi gazes softly into the distance, perhaps lost in thought or awaiting the arrival of a loved one. The 'ghoonghat' itself is intricately depicted, with flowing folds and subtle patterns adding to the overall elegance of the scene.

Overall, this Kalighat Pat painting captures the timeless allure of traditional Indian attire and the enduring beauty of its subjects.
