    Peepal tree : Moasaic with dhokra fusion.

    This beautiful wall decor piece has peepal tree as the subject in Mosaic and is paired with handcrafted dhokra plate which shows a tribal couple. It depicts the intertwining of rural life around the Banyan tree.

    Peepal tree has many names - Sacred fig, Bodhi tree, Ashwatha tree, Banyan trees etc and is considered auspicious in many faiths. The stature of peepal tree among the trees is explained by a verse in Bhagvadgita where Lord Krishna says " I am the Peepal tree among the trees". Bodhi tree is most sacred in Budhism as Gautama Budha was enlightened while meditating under a peepal tree. Peepal tree is believed to be a giver of wisdom and health. Most of the olden age panchayats were held under the shade of peepal tree believing it to bestow wisdom on the village head to give correct judgement.

  • Tassochitra - Dashavatars

    Katha behind the chitra
    Dashavatars, as per Hindu religion are the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu - the sustainer - who descends onto Earth to save the human race. Scientifically, Dashavatars depict the evolution of life on earth. Be it the stories we have grown up to or the scientific temperament one has the story of Dashavatars is fascinating. Matsya avatar (fish incarnation) is how life originated – from water. We then have Kurma avatar (tortoise) where amphibians started moving onto land and then Varaha (boar) who saves mother Earth is purely a land based animal. Now is the time for Narasimha avatar (half animal and half man) before we see the little Vamana (young boy) showing how humans started evolving. Parashurama (the man with the axe) shows the angry man and then we have the all blissful Krishna the “Sampoorna” (complete) avatar. Rama is the obedient son who protects Dharma and then we know what enlightenment is with Buddha and the Lord says whenever there is evil I will come onto Earth and we are all waiting for Kalki who will ride on a horse and will, once again, make Earth a great place to live on. This Tasarchitra, with brilliant colours, is a ,must have to explain about the beautiful story or put in your Puja room. The Pattachitra painted on handmade cloth (Patta) will be yours for generations.Narasimha avatar (half animal and half man) before we see the little Vamana (young boy) showing how humans started evolving.
