The beautiful handmade Batik painting paints the sacred Hindu word 'OM' in a most prolific manner creating an aura of devotion and gracefulness. Aum is considered one of the most powerful words in Hinduism. Aum (also OM) is the sound of the infinite, the essence of all mantras. Aum is also said to be the essence of the Vedas.
By sound and form, AUM symbolizes the infinite Brahman (ultimate reality) and the entire universe.
Here, A stands for Creation; U stands for Preservation; M stands for Destruction or dissolution
This is representative of the Trinity of God in Hindu dharma (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva). The three portions of AUM relate to the states of waking, dream and deep sleep and the three gunas (rajas, satva, tamas)
The painting contains some exquisite designs and the method of waxing and dewaxing gives rise to a special effect in the painting. |
