Indian Gods and Goddesses in Orissa Pattachitra
1. Bahuchar Maa ( बहुचरा माता )
Being a Gujarati , I wanted to create digital illustrations of the deities from our region. Here is the first one called Bahuchar Maa, who is also worshiped in certain parts of Rajasthan.
2. Khodiyar Maa ( खोडियार )
Another well-known female deity from Gujarat and Rajasthan region called Khodiyar Maa.
I decided to create a representation of Lord Shiva called Somasundara because I couldn't find any well-known artwork that showed this particular form of Lord Shiva. The form called Somasundara is connected to Lord Shiva's marriage to Goddess Parvati. In this form, Lord Shiva becomes more beautiful than any other god or person. This form emphasizes the significance of marriage.
When i was learning about the Orissa Pattachitra style in Artpreneur Program i got a chance to.Create this beautiful and unique art of the Indian god Dhanvantari who is physician of the deities or you can say god of the health and medicine.
I express my gratitude to the Artpreneur Online Program, which has provided me valuable knowledge about illustration,designing,digital tools, and branding.
