About the Artwork +
This intricate painted Kerala mural by Adarsh features the portrayal of Goddess Saraswati, the devi associated with knowledge, learning and music.Originating from Kerala, these murals were traditionally painted on the walls and ceilings of dwellings, temples, and palaces; characterised by expressive forms, large eyes, graceful depiction, vibrant colour palettes and elaborate ornaments. These deptict themes from mythological stories, oral narratives and folk culture.
At the center of the composition is Goddess Saraswati, seated on her vahana, the hamsa or swan, symbolising purity and wisdom. She is depicted four-armed, holding a veena (traditional musical instrument), a manuscript, and an aksamala or rosary beads, reinforcing her role as the goddess of learning and the arts. Dressed in a blue, red and green lower garment along with an upper garment, she is heavily adorned with gold jewelry, right from earrings and necklaces to bangles to armbands, anklets and rings. She is attired with a pyramidal crown, and a huge semi-circle-shaped prabhavali (halo) is shown behind her. Her facial features bear a serene and calm expression, symbolizing her divine nature.
The painting depicts lotus flowers and buds with swirling cloud motifs, filling the backdrop, resonating with the visual vocabulary of Kerala murals.
