This oil on canvas portrayal of Lord Buddha comes from Indian artist Sadhana. The golden allure reminds us of the golden charm of Buddha Purnima that falls on the night of the full moon in the month of Vaisakha, which commemorates the birth of Lord Buddha. The day is marked with prayer, meditation and processions. In the painting, Lord Buddha sits peacefully with closed eyes and enlightens his devotees with his blessings. Brown, orange, gold, yellow, and green tones are prominent in the painting. The patchwork pattern in the background brings Lord Buddha's face to life.

This Madhubani painting depicts two graceful black deer standing on either side of a flowering tree, their slender bodies adorned with intricate line work and decorative patterns. Blooming with clusters of stylized white flowers, the tree dominates the composition, symbolizing fertility, life and abundance. The contrasting color palette with a green background, earthy ochre ground and stark black figures creates a striking visual harmony. Rendered with natural dyes on handmade paper by India’s Devendra Kumar Jha and Family, this artwork carries the essence of folk symbolism and nature worship, where animals, trees and the environment are depicted as sacred and interconnected. The balanced symmetry of the two deer gazing upward toward the flowering tree evokes a sense of serenity, grace and reverence for nature.
