About the Artwork +

Sanjay Chitara's Mata Ni Pachedi mesmerizes with its intricate portrayal of Meldi Ma, a goddess revered with deep devotion. This traditional art form, Mata Ni Pachedi, is an exquisite cloth painting associated with the goddess Meldi, and Chitara's rendition showcases remarkable attention to detail. At the heart of the painting there's Meldi Ma, resplendent and powerful, with each feature meticulously depicted. The artist's skill brings forth the goddess's divine aura, capturing the essence of her sacred presence. The colors chosen, likely rich and vibrant, contribute to the spiritual vibrancy of the artwork, immersing the viewer in the reverence associated with Mata Ni Pachedi.
What makes Chitara's work even more remarkable is the intricately designed border that envelops the central depiction. This border serves as a canvas within a canvas, featuring miniature representations of various deities. Each deity is a testament to the artist's precision, capturing the essence of these divine beings in a compact yet detailed form. The border, filled with celestial figures, not only complements the central theme but also adds layers of storytelling and sacred symbolism to the Mata Ni Pachedi. Sanjay Chitara's mastery in blending detailed central imagery with an ornate border elevates Mata Ni Pachedi into a visual and spiritual marvel.

I learnt this art from my father Shri Chunnilal ji."

Today his son Sumit Sanjay Bhai Chittara is also learning the art from him and taking it forward in many new ways.

Mata Ni Pachedi

Mata ni Pachedi is a revered art form and religious tradition that originated amid the nomadic Vaghari community in Gujarat, India. The Vagharis were nomadic farmers living along the edge of the Sabarmati River. Mata ni Pachedi is their unique expression of devotion to the divine mother goddess, particularly Mataji, or Amba Mata. Traditionally, the term Mata ni Pachedi refers to the cloth used to cover the idol of the goddess during rituals and processions. The designs of the cloth often feature intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and depictions of the goddess in various forms, surrounded by symbols of auspiciousness and protection. Legend Legend has it that Mata ni Pachedi originated as a form of worship among the Vaghari community, who were traditionally devotees of the mother goddess. They believed that the goddess would protect them from harm and grant their wishes, leading to a deep-seated reverence for the goddess. Style and Technique The art form is characterized by its bold lines, stylized figures, and attention to detail, with each painting serving as a visual devotion to the goddess's divine attributes and blessings. The mata is always depicted in the center whereas there are also representations of singers, musicians, shamans, animals, and birds that seem to dance and fly in celebration of the goddess. Each mata has their own mount and attributes like Mamai mata sita atop a camel whereas Goddess Vahanvati travels in a boat. The traditional Mata ni Pachedi strictly adheres to two colors made of natural dyes- black and deep red. Mata ni Pachedi paintings are typically executed on cloth using natural pigments derived from plants, minerals, and other organic sources. Simply, the iron used in making black outlines of the work takes around 15 days to process. Later red color is filled using brushes made from bamboo. After the completion of the painting, it is washed and dried around the river. The colored dye is finally fixed with mordant and dried up in the sun.
