Purple Bird 'Mahadev & Parvati' Kalighat Pat Artwork (Unframed) 12" x 14"

In the serene world of a Kalighat pat painting, Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati are portrayed seated together on a majestic throne, supported by the gentle form of Nandi, the bull. The throne itself is a masterpiece of ornate craftsmanship, with intricately carved legs that speak of divine elegance and timeless artistry. Lord Shiva holds the damaru (hand drum) in his right hand, its rhythmic beats symbolizing the cosmic sound that creates and sustains the universe. Parvati, resplendent in her divine attire and adorned with garlands of flowers, radiates grace and serenity. The scene captures a moment of peaceful coexistence and divine harmony, where the richness of tradition and the vibrancy of Kalighat's distinctive style merge seamlessly.
