About this Item
Originating in the Mithila region of India, Madhubani painting is a traditional style of folk art typically reserved for women. It often celebrates Hindu themes, as well as the harmony between people and nature. Working in the Madhubani style, Vidushini paints this folk art composition, depicting the Hindu god Lord Shiva with his bride, the goddess Parvati. Depicted in green, Shiva holds a trishul, or trident in one hand, and a drum in the other. Parvati holds a lotus blossom and a conch shell in her hands. The loving couple is framed by snakes and natural motifs. Ardhnareshwar, or Ardhanarishvara, refers to Shiva and Parvati coming together to create one being.

“Beautiful and Inspiring”
The painting is of the highest quality, on lovely heavy paper. I am having it matted and framed, and cannot wait to hang it in our home. The deep red background and simple black and white foreground combine to make the painting elegant and beautiful. The concept itself, of Shiva and Parvati joined as one, is unmatched in beauty. To have it manifested with such skill will be appreciated every single day. Thank you so much for sharing this art with us.
