About the Artwork +

In this captivating artwork, Setroji Mata and Surmai Mata, facing away from each other, grace a canvas adorned with serene hues, invoking a profound connection between divinity and nature. Between them, a tranquil pond teems with fishes, symbolizing life's abundance and cyclical harmony within the natural world.
A majestic tree envelops the scene, its branches housing birds that symbolize freedom and vitality. Above, a personified sun with distinct facial features, including prominent eyes and a distinguished mustache, embodies wisdom and celestial presence.
Setroji Mata, holding a sword and a bowl, represents protection and sustenance, while Surmai Mata, depicted with multiple arms bearing weapons and sacred objects, exudes strength and power. Both seated on their sacred animals, they traverse this divine landscape with symbolic significance, despite facing away.

Sanjay Chittara

Sanjay Chittara
Sanjay Chitara is a leading exponent of the 300-year-old art of Mata ni Pachedi, a tradition he learned from his father, Shri Chunnilal ji. This art, originally block printed in red and black, is now entirely created by hand. Chitara's mastery has been recognized with a national award in 2000 and a state award in 1999. His son, Sumit Sanjay Bhai Chittara, is now learning and evolving this traditional art form.

Mata Ni Pachedi


Mata ni Pachedi is a traditional folk art form from Gujarat, India, created by the nomadic Vaghari community, known for its vibrant depictions of Hindu goddesses, particularly the mother goddess, Mata. Literally translating to "behind the goddess," these artworks were traditionally used as backdrops in shrines, evolving from portable shrines created by the marginalized Vaghari community who were denied temple entry. Characterized by bold, dynamic compositions with the goddess at the center, surrounded by devotees and symbolic animals, the art uses an earthy palette of black, red, and white, symbolizing protection, strength, and purity, respectively. It is traditionally created on cotton cloth using natural dyes, with outlines drawn using a bamboo stick dipped in black dye made from jaggery and iron, and colors filled in from natural sources like turmeric and indigo. This labor-intensive process results in intricate designs and patterns, making Mata ni Pachedi a profound expression of devotion, a testament to the Vaghari community's resilience, and an important part of India's cultural heritage.
