Ganesha, God of wisdom and the most widely revered of the Hindu assemblage, casts aside all other aspects of the Earth to devote himself to mindfulness in the garden of peacocks. As a master of the mind, Ganesha encourages others in their pursuits of learning and advanced studies, aiding in focus and intellect with his ubiquitous presence which draws all minds to the centre. Depicted in his commonly-accepted four-armed form, wearing a floral crown and patterned textiles, Ganesha appears levitating while seated, seemingly superimposed over the peacocks of the background. Bharti Dayal creates 'Ganesha - The Beginning' to honour the deity's role as the giver of new beginnings and to tell the authentic story of India's vivid experience with Hinduism, painting handmade paper with vegetable-derived colours.
"Madhubani paintings are in fact a simplistic manifestation of the philosophical heights achieved by Indian civilization for the universal power of love, longing and peace; the quest of all beings," Dayal says.

"Vibrant and Charming!"
This painting is delightful, a great combination of traditional form and colors and modern, geometrical composition. I love the parrots expression and the checkerboard-bird background.
