Selected from the best collections of folk arts, this Shiva-Parvati painting is a typical depiction of the iconic Madhubani art style. A Madhubani art is symbolic of highlighting themes of Mythology, nature and love along with a heavy work of geometric patterns to fill each area with creativity and beauty. This watercolour painting depicts the Kalyanasundaram (beautiful marriage) of Lord Shiva and Parvati, as both stand on Mount Kailash having the auspicious ceremony of jaimala in progress. The union of Shiva and Parvati is symbolized as being the most faithful and devotional bond, blessed with love, trust and perfection.
The painter has very artistically painted this divine marriage scene, having the deities adorned in bright coloured designer garbs in beautiful patterns filled with flowers and geometric designs. It is said that the marriage of Lord Shiva and Parvati was a great moment of rejoicement for the gods as Lord Shiva was back in his form again after the loss of his first wife Sati. Shiva is painted here with his usual accessories of a damru, trident, crescent moon on the head, snakes coiled around his neck and waist and the sacred river Ganga flowing out from his matted hair. Look at the beauty of their painted long hairs symbolizing their characteristic nature; Shiva’s hair flying high in rage and Parvati’s settled in elegance.
The bulging fish eyes of every figurine is a characteristic form of Madhubani art which the painter has taken care of even while painting Shiva’s mount, Nandi. The snakes that slide through the branches of fruit-bearing trees at the top symbolizes their deep association with Lord Shiva. The painter has illustrated every aspect of this Shiva Parvati marriage in utter grace complying with the techniques and styles of Madhubani art.
