Manash Ranjan Jena’s painting Anjana beautifully captures the divine essence of Anjana, the mother of Lord Hanuman, blending themes of maternal love, protection, and spirituality. The central figure, calm and nurturing, cradles a young Hanuman, symbolizing his dual nature as both her child and a divine force. The golden background represents divinity and enlightenment. The red circle in the bowllike form signifies creation and Anjana’s role as the mother of a celestial being. Sanskrit script and patterns tie the composition to sacred traditions, emphasizing cosmic order. Jena’s work portrays Anjana as a timeless symbol of maternal divinity and spiritual devotion, deeply rooted in Hindu epics.
