Tree of life in Mata ni pachedi by Bhanu Bhai Chittara

This mesmerizing Mata ni Pachedi by Bhanu Bhai Chittara is a contemporary homage to the Tree of Life, rendered in the sacred visual language of the Vaghari tradition of Gujarat. Set against a serene indigo backdrop, the central tree emerges like a cosmic axis—its flourishing branches meticulously detailed with golden-yellow leaves, blooming floral motifs, and perched birds that suggest the harmony of nature and the divine. At the base of the tree, two enchanting centaur-like figures—half-human, half-horse—gracefully flank the sacred roots. These hybrid beings, each holding a lotus flower, symbolize purity and the eternal blossoming of wisdom, bridging the human and the mythic. Their poised, regal forms echo ancient storytelling, merging folklore with sacred geometry. The fine black linework, filled with earthy ochres and stark whites, creates a hypnotic rhythm, anchoring this celestial tree in a world both timeless and immediate. The outer frame is bordered with chevron motifs that form a protective visual boundary, echoing temple architecture and traditional design language. The entire composition breathes with spiritual vitality and devotion, while Bhanu Bhai’s deft hand brings contemporary clarity and emotional intimacy to this ritual art. Traditionally used as portable shrines by marginalized communities, this textile carries forward that sacred legacy while reimagining it for modern contexts. Through this work, Bhanu Bhai reaffirms the Tree of Life as a symbol of regeneration, divine order, and interconnectedness, honoring both the gods and the Earth. It’s a poetic celebration of life in its fullest form—mythical, natural, and deeply human.
