Product Description
Lord Jagannath - Worshipped as 'The Lord of The Universe' in India, and across the globe.
Lord Jagannath is an abstract representation of Shri Krishna, the eight avatar of Lord Vishnu. And Shri Jagannath-dham Puri is considered as the eternal abode of Lord Krishna with His brother Balabhadra and His sister Subhadra. This is the only temple where Lord Krishna is worshipped with His siblings.
This painting is a printed artwork on a silk fabric of an original Pattachitra, which is then pasted on a high quality paper to preserve the painting. It depicts the beautiful and unique idols of Lord Jagannath in black colored face, Lord Balabhadra in white and Devi Subhadra in yellow colored face. The icons of the sanctum are very unusual as they are incomplete wooden carvings, which is very distinct from how other Hindu deities are traditionally made perfect. And the same idols are made as a beautiful illustration in this piece of art.
+ Lord Jagannath is dressed in yellow, with large, enticing round eyes with no eyelids. He is having His iconic weapon i.e. Sudarshan chakra in His one hand and there is another auspicious icon associated with Lord Vishnu i.e. a conch in His other hand.
+ The idols of Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra are clothed in colorful green and red dresses respectively, and have oval eyes, which is another distinct feature from Lord Jagannath. Lord Balabhadra has been associated with farming and thus His weapons include a plough and a club. The idol of Devi Subhadra lacks both the limbs; but still looks so beautiful in deep red dress.
+ Interestingly, there are beautiful chhatra or 'umbrellas' above the idols of the Lords, and are seated on a lotus platform.
+ This silk print is pasted on an off-white canvas to add more life to the painting and make it more durable. Also floral yellow border compliments the colorful portrait of the Lord Jagannath together with His siblings.
Lord Jagannath is the most compassionate and generous God for His devotees and thus the most beloved! Every year, there is a Rath Yatra procession in the city of Puri attended by lakhs of devotees, wherein Lord Jagannath is brought outside the temple with His siblings on chariot, which is then pulled by His devotees all along the Yatra. Similar festivities are celebrated by His countless devotees around the world.
