The Living World in Mata ni Pachedi by Vasant Manubhai Chitara

Experience the celestial beauty and magic of Mata Ni Pachedi, crafted by the Master Artist Vasant Manubhai Chitara as he depicts the beauty of nature in all its forms. Originating from Gujarat, this art form emerged as a means of worship for the Vaghri community, today, it is used as a backdrop for their Goddess. The painting beautifully weaves together aerial, terrestrial and aquatic life, unfolding across a diverse topography of hills, plains, rivers, and forests. At its heart lies a lush green forest, where a majestic herd of elephants - including calves and adults - roam peacefully. Rendered in soft grey with beautifully adorned caparisons on their backs and patterns on their ears, the elephants symbolise strength and serenity. To their right, a graceful herd of deer, marked by delicate white dots and alluring antlers, grazes quietly near a riverbank. Above, the scene shifts to rolling hills and open skies, where colourful birds soar and perch among flourishing trees, their leaves teeming with life. Flowing across the canvas, the river comes alive with dynamic blue-and-white waves, home to vibrant fish and turtles in striking hues of reds, yellows, and greens. The rhythmic flow of the water contrasts beautifully with the stillness of the forest, adding movement and depth to the landscape. Scattered throughout are richly detailed trees adn flowering plants, further emphasizing the natural abundance and balance. With each intricate element, the artist evokes the interconnectedness of all living beings, and the sacred relationship between nature, the divine, and human life. This painting stands as a powerful homage to the spiritual and ecological wisdom embedded in folk traditions.
