The painting by Manash Ranjan Jena portrays a deeply emotional moment from Hindu mythology, where Goddess Parvati holds Lord Ganesha in her lap after Shiva has severed his head. The composition captures the intensity of a mother’s grief and the pivotal transformation in Ganesha’s story. The artist’s distinct style, with layered textures and intricate detailing, adds a raw yet spiritual essence to the scene. The interplay of expressions, forms, and symbolism reflects the divine bond of love, loss, and eventual restoration.
