giri nandini |portrait  | watercolor on paper

“Girinandini” painting is a watercolor on paper painting by Megha Chakraborty, in portrait orientation with dimensions of 4.61″ X 6.5″(11.71cm X 16.51cm). It is a contemporary painting with a devotional aspect to it. The Sanskrit word for “mountain” is “giri,” and “nandi,” which means “providing enjoyment” or “bringing joy,” refers to the sacred bull of Shiva, one of the most revered Hindu deities. Shiva destroys the universe when it turns bad to make room for good change. Shiva’s animal form, mode of transportation, and most devoted follower is Nandi. Hindu deities used sacred animals as their vahanas, or mounts, to travel. Vahanas represent or amplify the vitality or personality of their deity. The bull’s white tint represents justice and purity. In this artwork, a pretty girl is covered with jewels, giving her a goddess-like look, and a cow picture enhances her beauty. There is a sense of innocence in the painting that attracts it towards it .
