The lovely Devi Meenakshi captured in the sumptuous Tanjore medium. For the devotees of Madurai’s guardian deity, such a painting would be a valuable addition to the home or office space. It depicts the Parvati-roopa Devi standing with a soft-bellied lotus beneath Her feet. Garlands of fresh flowers of varied colours are around Her neck and Her shoulders, and over the archway of Her temple entrance.
The pastel-coloured soft-textured floral elements balance the luxuriant metallic embellishments in this composition. The Devi’s saree is made up of solid gold layers upon gesso-work. The same is true for the plinth beneath Her lotus-poised feet, the temple-pillars on either side of the standing figure, and the Kirtimuham archway above - again - the gold-embellished crown.
A complexion of soothing green colour. Eyes brimming with life and expression. The artisan’s skill has brought the iconography to life in every square inch of the canvas. Framed by dark-coloured wood, which is the norm with traditional Tanjore paintings.
