TattvabyPreethi

Even the cobra bowed..!

— श्री शारदाम्बा —

Adi Shankaracharya was walking the banks of the Tunga when he stopped.
Not for a vision. Not for a voice from the sky.
A cobra had spread its hood over a frog giving birth — shielding her from the afternoon sun. A predator, choosing shelter…
He needed no other sign.
Where even enemies become protectors, the goddess is not arriving. She is already dwelling.
He built Sringeri there. He consecrated her as Sharadambe — VaK Devi…!
Not the goddess of wealth, not the goddess of war.
The goddess of knowing…!

Of vidya that doesn’t just fill the mind — it changes how you see.
That quality of grace is what I have tried to hold inside this painting ..
She wears the crescent moon — she is beyond time.
The parrot at her shoulder — VaK Devi speaks through what is living.

The abhaya mudra — that open palm — is not a gesture. It is a promise.

The akshamala — prayer that continues even when we forget to.

Today, on the first day of Chaitra Navratri, I begin the new year the way Shankaracharya began Sringeri.

Not with grandeur. With attention. With a lamp. With her face.

Navratri Shubhashayagalu…

Ugadi Subhakankshalu…

Gudi Padwa chya Hardik Shubhechha…

May this new year bring you vidya — the kind that changes what you see, not just what you know.

Artstyle : Deccani Scroll
Size: 45 * 35 Inches
Base : Canvas
Colours : Acrylics

Dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the Deccani scroll ( Nakashi) an older, more detailed version of the Cheriyal painting style, is a traditional Indian art form that’s largely disappeared due to urbanization. The scrolls, which can be up to 40 feet long, were originally used to educate and entertain people by telling the origin stories of different communities.
This particular scroll details the history of the Padmasali weaver community. It uses deep colors like ochre, indigo, and white on a bright red background. The first panel shows salutations to Lord Ganesha, and the rest of the scroll tells the story of the celestial weaver Bhavana Rishi and his defeat of the demon Kalavasenudu, whose body was used to create new dyes. The characters are depicted with lavish jewels and vibrant clothing, and scenes are separated by floral borders.

My journey with art has always been grounded in a specific style, but a new, quiet curiosity recently led me to explore something different. With a deep sense of respect and a newfound appreciation, I'm thrilled to share my very first Thanjavur painting of Devi Saraswati.
Creating this piece has been more than just an artistic endeavor; it's been a spiritual journey, allowing me to connect with the goddess of knowledge in a profoundly personal way…
