    DESCRIPTION

    According to the Puranas, the Ganga River is India's most revered river. Ganga Maa or Ganga Ji is the names given to it. Indians have the view that a dip in the Ganges' sacred waters cleanses them of all of their previous transgressions. Along the river, there are many pilgrimage sites, including those in Allahabad, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Varanasi, and Patna. In ritual cleansing, water from the Ganga is utilized to purify any space or item. The term "Ganga" is often used to refer to holy and clean water.
    The painting showcases Ganga, sitting on her crocodile vehicle. The upside down elephant on her left and Brahmin priest at her right reflects an iconographic convention.

    About the Art form

    Kalighat painting, an entirely distinct genre of Indian painting that emerged in the 19th century in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), West Bengal, is characterized by its vibrant colours and sharp contours. The portrayal of gods and other mythical people in these paintings evolved over time to reflect a variety of topics. These mediocre pieces of art were created by Kalighat patuas (painters) to make a living by selling to a large audience. As Kolkata grew into a bustling and successful industrial port city, migrants began to arrive in search of better prospects. Among them were numerous artists, crafters, and painters from across India, including patuas, members of a West Bengal artisan community. With its regular swarms of pilgrims, Kalighat would have been an ideal location for local artists to create and sell modest, inexpensive religious gifts. The patuas abandoned their linear, narrative style in favour of single drawings containing one or two individuals, influenced by the various art styles surrounding them and with a desire to produce swiftly. The backgrounds were left plain, all non-essential elements were deleted, and basic colour combinations were chosen. The arrival of cheaper prepared paints and mill-made paper from Britain additionally contributed to patua productivity.

    CARE

     

    • Keep your prints out of direct sunlight or extreme weather conditions
    • Do not lean anything against the surface of a canvas
    • Dust your artworks with a clean, soft rag occasionally to prevent dust build-up. Don't use cleaning products or water
    • Hang your artworks away from the bustling and possibly messy areas
    • For framed works with glass or acrylic, use a soft white cloth and for paintings with heavy texture or fragile surfaces, a soft white brush is better. A new, unused make-up brush would also do the trick
