A Shivaparivar Tanjore painting to fill your home with sacred charms. The midnight-complexioned Lord Shiva in a dhoti of golden silk; limbs gathered in lalitasana (a bare kharam next to the foot resting on the scarlet rug). Anterior right hand over the shoulder of Ganesha, anterior left over Parvati’s. Parvati is seated with Her limbs pendant. Little Kattikeya on Her lap.
While this is an authentic traditional Tanjore painting in terms of iconography and the metallic embellishment at key junctures of the canvas, the contemporary hallmark in this work are hard to miss. For example, the countenance of each deity as well as the stance of Ganesha va Parvati as they lean against the patriarch.
Vahanas - mouse and Nandi, the bull, and peacock - and a golden plateful of offerings in the foreground. A riot of scarlets, yellows, midnight blues, and pinks sets off the solid gold of the throne as well as the archway.
