A cow with its newly born calf, the symbol of divine life, in the Indian folk art form of Madhubani.


Symbols, lines and patterns that support the main theme are the essence of Madhubani painting. The painters of this school create their own symbolic meaning out of the amenities and creatures related to their daily life. These Maithili painters bestow them with ecclesiastic and naturalistic intervention.


Considered holy by the entire Hindu community, including the Maithili people, the cow is the symbol of life and represents the earth. The painting in concern depicts a beautifully cow feeding its newly born calf and thus symbolically supporting life, just in the same way as the earth and Mother Nature. The flowers painted to fill up the blank space are the symbol of love and beauty. Geometric triangles in the borders depict the symmetry of divine life and Mother Nature.


A marvelous piece of Maithili painting whose beauty, artistry and symmetry you can’t ignore. Available with mount.


ARTIST: Chaturanan Jha, a physically challenged Madhubani artist of Simri, Bihar.
