Serving Lord Shiva (Raag Bhairav) in Kishangarh Art by Shehzaad Ali Sherani

Shehzaad Ali Sherani, working within the evocative Kishangarh style, presents "Raag Bhairav," a painting that transcends mere depiction to capture the very essence of devotion and the divine. The Devanagari inscription at the top, encapsulating Shiva's from, in a vivid description of "He who bears the Ganga, who wears the crescent moon, who has three eyes, who is adorned with various ornaments, who wears an elephant skin, who holds a trident and a skull, may the auspicious Bhairav Ragini be victorious." This inscription sets the stage for a portrayal of Lord Shiva in his Bhairav form, emphasizing his divine attributes and auspicious nature."

The painting depicts Lord Shiva, his iconic blue skin radiating divine energy, seated serenely amidst a rocky, mountainous landscape, characteristic of the stylized natural settings often found in Kishangarh art. He embodies the descriptions of the inscription, adorned with ornaments, holding a trident and skull, and wearing an elephant skin. Two female attendants, Jaya and Vijaya, are positioned below him, offering their devotion. Their delicate postures and expressions suggest reverence and service. The landscape, with its swirling clouds and stylized rock formations, creates a mystical and transcendent atmosphere. The Kishangarh style is evident in the delicate linework, the elongated eyes, and refined facial features of the figures, as well as the intricate patterns of their clothing and adornments, which are hallmarks of the school's meticulous craftsmanship.

The artist's skillful composition and attention to detail bring to life the spiritual essence of Raag Bhairav, capturing the divine power of Shiva and the devotion of his attendants. Sherani's "Raag Bhairav" is a powerful visual interpretation of the musical mode, rendered in the distinctive Kishangarh style. Through the vibrant colors, delicate linework, and evocative composition, the artist creates a scene that transcends mere representation, capturing the divine essence of Lord Shiva and the devotional spirit of the attendants Jaya and Vijaya.
