This pattern in circular design is a reminder of the Shamsa, a term derived from the Arabic shams (sun). Due to the deep purple colour in the middle of the nucleus, there is depth in the art work. It seems to have bursted, creating the outward patterns on the way. Where the pattern is concerned, the artist uses curves and continuous pattern in each circle, all the way. Its with colours that he has shown skillful mastery. In some patterns he has used golden colour as the filler with touches of coloured paint on the edges and at some places, he has used golden as an outline only. The technique of shading is applied here, which is quite rare on marble paintings. The red, green and purple creates magic with golden playing a major role. It lends it the required richness for a decorative art, tracing its descent from the Augustan age of the Mughal empire..
