Goddess in Fishing:Madhubani painting by Priti Karn

Priti Karn portrays a captivating artwork that transports the viewers to a tranquil scene where Parvati, the divine goddess, stands in her fisherwoman incarnation, embodying the essence of femininity and nature. At the heart of this mesmerising painting, Parvati stands in her fisherwoman form, a vision of grace and strength. She holds a basket filled with an abundant catch of fish on her head, a symbol of sustenance and the abundance of the natural world. On the other hand, she gently cradles a net, within which two fish shimmer with vibrant life. Before the goddess, a serene pond glistens with the presence of countless fish. The water’s surface ripples with life, mirroring the interconnectedness of all living beings. A majestic tree with lush foliage stands as a sentinel over this scene, providing shade and shelter for the aquatic life below. The background of the painting is adorned with a warm and inviting yellow hue, symbolising the radiance and positivity that emanate from the goddess’s presence. Priti Karn captures the timeless beauty of Madhubani art, using intricate patterns and natural colours to convey a story that transcends the canvas, where the divine and the everyday intertwine harmoniously.
