Bhakti Of Lord Hanuman - Orissa Pata Painting
Bhakti Of Lord Hanuman - Orissa Pata Painting

The Bhakti Of Lord Hanuman an image of tender devotion. Lord Hanuman kneels on one knee upon the earth and gathers His hands in the supplicatory namaskaaram. His tail flourishes behind Him as He raises His head towards His beloved Lord Rama, His eyes brimming with the bhakti in His heart. Bhakti, or unconditional love, is the yogamaarga (‘maarga’ is Sanskrit for path) of Hanuman, an accomplished yogi of the finest order. The Lord reciprocates. He stands over His bhakta, leaning over Him in a protective, paternal stance. With half-shut eyes, He gazes lovingly upon Him, discoverer of the captive Seeta, reviver of His brother Lakshmana. With His right hand, He exerts a gentle grip upon the wrists of Hanuman, in divine reciprocation of His bhakti.

The figures have been executed with complex black lines of varying levels of finesse. The silhouette features relatively thick curves, while the attire and adornments are filled in with dense, minuscule motifs. Zoom in on the same to appreciate the symmetry and detail with which it has been done. The signature ivory cream of the tussar silk canvas pervades the spaces within; as such, this painting is a minimalistic composition. The gada of Lord Hanuman lies on the ground next to Him, while Lord Rama’s bow and arrows are swung on His shoulders. The halo shines brightly around both their heads.

A tree with a slender, curvaceous shoot stands in the background. The shrubbery in the foreground sways gently in the winds.

Panchmukha Lord Hanuman Watercolor Patachitra Painting
Lord Hanuman Watercolor Patachitra Painting

A vibrant, jewel-toned form of Lord Hanuman. A powerful warrior and a yogi of the highest order, He stands here with five (‘pancha’) faces (‘Mukha) and ten (‘dasha’) arms (‘bhuja’), each of which wields a different weapon and divine implement. This iconography of Lord Hanuman draws from the Sri Vidyarnavatantram (Hanumath Prakaranam) and is symbolic of the Pancha jnanendriyas (five senses of perception) that He, as a yogi, has transcended.

A dhoti of green and red is clad around His sturdy hips. An angavastram of blue silk cascades from His wide-set shoulders. The pristine halo with undertones of blue and the radiant gold of His complexion sets off varied colors of His many limbs and faces. On mounds of ash and green, He stands with His legs parted, the head of the mace resting between them. From the way He rests His hands on the tail-end of His signature weapon to the wisdom and determination pouring forth from His powerful eyes, this image of Lord Hanuman Watercolor Painting evokes equal parts fear and equal parts devotion.

Red and pastel velvet curtains along the upper edge of the painting. A pair of almost identical shrubs in the distance, the pale green color of the shoot almost merging into the inky blackness of the night. Note the striking the red color of the continuum of Hanuman’s crown as well as the adornments on His body.

Ganesha-Orissa Paata Watercolor Painting
Ganesha-Orissa Paata Watercolor Painting

The adorable baala-deva (boy-deity) thumps the mridangam and dances to its sound. He is the son of Shiva-Parvati, the unmistakable elephant’s head is the most distinctive part of His iconography. On the belly of a flattened lotus bloom He dances, a foot raised above the other turned delicately sideways as if caught in the midst of a step. His vahana, the little mouse, looks up at Him with great reverence, the offering of a minuscule laddoo in its tiny front hands.

The chaturbhujadhari (possessed of four arms) Roopa (manifestation) of Lord Ganesha is something to behold. In the posterior hands, He wields a noose and cradles a laddoo, while with His anterior hands He is playing the mridangam. His elephant head is turned to one side, the gaze of His wise and innocent eyes directed at the clutch of leafy lotus-buds at the tip of His trunk. From the ornate crown on His head to the embroidered dhoti and shringar on His body, the painter has executed each aspect of Ganesha iconography with precision and critical attention to detail. Rows of minuscule conchs frame the composition.

A stretch of homegrown tussar fabric makes up the canvas of this pattachitra. Patta is the name given to the homemade, fabric-based canvas on which images (Chitra) of a predominantly divine theme are executed. The work of art that you see on this page - the minimalistic color palette, the characteristic lily- and lotus-pad motifs, and the iconographical style - is a signature work of the region’s folk art.
