About the Artwork +

Vidya Soni portrays a vibrant celebration of the rich cultural tapestry woven around weddings. The Mandana artistry beautifully captures the essence of these torans, which radiate healing energy through their use of bright and lively colors. Each stroke of Vidya Soni's brush infuses the artwork with a sense of vibrancy, mirroring the festive atmosphere that envelops a wedding ceremony. Beyond its visual appeal, this Mandana holds profound significance. Torans, decorative hangings typically adorned at the main entrance, play a pivotal role in enhancing the attraction of this gateway, which is often seen as a harbinger of new opportunities. It signifies the significance of matrimonial bliss, the positive energy that fills the air during weddings, and the cultural importance of the main entrance as a gateway to opportunities and new phases of life. The artwork invites the viewers to appreciate the beauty of weddings, the symbolism of torans, and the enduring allure of Mandana.

    Mandana


    Mandana Paintings, one of the oldest forms of tribal art of India is predominantly done by the Meena community in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. One of the incredible feats of Mandana art is that it isn’t taught through mere formal training but passed along as girls learn it by observing and emulating their mothers. In a way, it is seen as a skill that has connected women over generations.  These paintings are often seen on walls and floors of rural mud houses, keeping the place ornamental. The theme differs from animals such as peacocks and elephants to wells and water bodies. Even without colour, it portrays a distinctive and diverse design that binds several generations together. Some believe that making these on the entrance of homes while serving its decorative attribute, also protects the home from evil. It has religious and auspicious significance as seen on major Indian festivals when it embellishes houses just like Rangoli art. It wards off wicked energies while manifesting divinity.
