Religion being an indivisible part of Madhubani painting, this piece portrays Lord Ganesha, in vibrant vegetable dye colours.
The themes of interest for the Madhubani painters are religion, mythology, natural scenes of village, everyday life, flora and fauna. Religious themes are again branched into two parts-little tradition and great tradition. Lord Ganesha occurs as per the theme of great religious tradition.
Lord Ganesha is portrayed with four hands holding a trishul, a sword, a lotus and a laddo. The sword and the trishul signify power and destruction, for the evil; the lotus and the laddo signify love and care, for the humble. Red and orange are extensively used, the colours of power, passion and productivity. Surrounding Him are the beautifully crafted twigs in green, the colour of life, with flowers on them. Supporting the main theme is the double line border with diagonal geometrical designs.
In a word, this is a tribute to religion and life, entwined together , by the Madhubani painter.
