The striking orange background blended with notable yellow strokes adds to the bold appeal of this Madhubani and enhances the précised formation and strokes of the peacock in an enticing manner. In the very first look, one can be captivated by the grandeur and sophisticated strokes of this peacock. A peacock holds great importance in Madhubani art, as it is symbolic of divine love, knowledge, prosperity and romance, which the painter has efficiently painted here. When we talk about Hinduism, it is considered to be the most auspicious animal that can bring luck and prosperity in a person’s life. Starting from its long and curved neck, every inch of space is flourished with a different and beauteous pattern.
As you come up to the long and curved tail, the leafy designs that seem to decrease their size as you reach the top are embellished in the form an eye, which is symbolic of it saving people from the negativities and evils of life and see the world with true brilliance. The geometric triangular border completes this Madhubani frame and the two multiple layered curves at the top corners complement with the black and white stroked peacock.
