Fusion of lotus flower with vines on Jewelry Box: Tarkashi art by Mohan Lal Sharma

Tarkashi artist Mohan Lal Sharma splendidly exhibits a flower in the midst of the artwork bordered with lotus flower and detailed intricately using vines and creepers in a harmonious way. The lotus is admired for its exquisite beauty and is often used to represent divine beauty and grace, associated with various deities in Hinduism. Vines and creepers are seen as a representation of the natural world’s harmony and balance. They intertwine and coexist peacefully, much like the balance in nature that sustains life. When the lotus flower is combined with vines and creepers in Tarkashi art, it creates a melodious and spiritually significant composition. This fusion not only adds aesthetic appeal to Tarkashi pieces but also conveys a deeper message of spiritual growth, interconnectedness, and the enduring beauty of nature.
