Krishna’s Radiance:Kalighat Art by Bapi Chitrakar

Bapi Chitrakar portrays a world where spirituality, tradition, and nature converge in a visually stunning tableau. The focal point of the artwork features a woman, beautifully dressed in traditional attire, seated gracefully, with an aura of devotion surrounding her. Behind the woman stands a majestic peacock, its vibrant and resplendent plumage unfurled, creating a striking backdrop. The peacock is emblematic of Lord Krishna, who is often associated with this regal bird, and the presence of Krishna’s visage adorned with peacock feathers completes the symbolism. Krishna’s visage, positioned within the peacock’s radiant plumage, represents the divine presence and the spiritual connection between the woman and the deity. The artwork is a visual testament to the woman’s devotion and the divine blessings that surround her.
