The empire of the King Shailesh has been nicely painted in the Madhubani painting. The king is painted seated on a horse and he is being rounded by a number of human and animal tattoos. The beautiful pattern of colours and outlines feature the beautiful painting. A large number of fishes have been nicely tattooed in the painting. A reflective of the collective spirit of the women of Mithila, the painting shows the refinement of treatment of the king and his empire.

What makes a fanatic? A fundamentalist? What makes communities that have lived together for years suddenly discover a hatred for each other? New Delhi, in the year 2000. Staff meetings, lesson modules, a half-hearted little affair with a colleague—this is the bland but comfortable life of Shiv Murthy, a history teacher in an open university. But disruption and change are on their way—an outspoken young woman with a broken knee comes into his life and turns it upside-down; then Hindu zealots attack his writings on Basava, the reformer-poet. When fundamentalism lands on his own doorstep, Shiv discovers that the ideas he has inherited—about history, nations and patriots—are liable to shrink day by day. The time of siege is not exclusively Indian—prejudice speaks different languages but has the same destructive message: 'Only trust those of your kind' With love, lust and a perverted nationalism at his heels, Shiv is forced to confront the demands of his times and choose a direction for the future. But first, he must come to terms with his own incomplete past, his fears, and his obsession with a woman who will give him the strength he seeks.

Description

The spectacular Kalmakari painting depicts the third incarnation of Lord Vishnu, one of the Trimurty Gods in Hinduism, viz Varaha in a most refine and detail manner. Lord Vishnu is responsible for the preservation of the universe. He is omnipotent and omnipresent. Vishnu took the form of a wild boar - the Varaaha Avatara, dived into the ocean, and saved Bhoomi Devi who sank into the bottom of the ocean, with his massive snout.

The beautiful stone figure of Lord Patanjali is given a refine and detail treatment with some exquisite carvings on it. Lord Patanjali, who is considered an incarnation of Adishesha, is shown praying with His folded hands. The serpentine coils around His head and the beautiful headgear are given some exquisite treatment. Patañjali is known to be an incarnation of Adi S'esha who is the first ego-expansion of Vishnu or Sankarshana. Sankarshana, the manifestation of Vishnu His primeval energies and opulences, is part of the so-called catur vyuha, the fourfold manifestation of Vishnu. Thus may Patañjali be considered as the one incarnation of God defending the ego of yoga.

The ten avataras namely, Matsya (as a fish), Kurm (as a tortoise), Varaha (a boar), Nara-Sing (as a man-lion), Vamana (dwarf), (Parasu-Rama), Rama Chandra,Balarama, Krishna and Kalki are beautifully painted in the Kalamkari painting with some beautiful lines and colours. It is believed in Hinduism that whenever there is chaos on Earth, Lord Vishnu takes the birth of any one of the above and safeguards His followers from the impending crises. The boundaries of the painting have been clearly marked.
