Saraswati’s Sanctuary: Kalighat Art by Bapi Chitrakar

Bapi Chitrakar portrays a captivating painting where simplicity and elegance converge to depict a striking scene. At the heart of the composition stands a woman draped in a resplendent red saree, seated gracefully with a regal peacock perched upon her lap. The woman’s attire, the colour of passion, exudes a magnetic charm. Her oval face, with high cheekbones and an exquisitely chiselled jawline, captivates the viewer. Elongated lines define her features, lending an air of sophistication to her presence. Her hair, with its curvaceous and wavy tendrils, frames her face like a natural crown, enhancing the allure of her countenance. Seated in quiet splendour, the peacock is the epitome of grace. Its vibrant plumage glistens with iridescent hues, and it gazes at the woman with a profound sense of connection. The artwork celebrates the beauty of both humans and birds and evokes a sense of serenity and admiration.
