The Lotus Pond

The Lotus Pond by Yashoda Devi is a captivating expression of harmony and life, rendered through the timeless language of Khovar art. At the heart of the composition blooms a radiant lotus, surrounded by a rhythmic circle of swimming fish. The artist’s confident use of black outlines, softened with hues of pink and saffron, captures both movement and stillness within a single frame.

The lotus, a sacred symbol of purity and awakening, contrasts beautifully with the lively forms of the fish, representing fertility and abundance. Together, they create a visual symphony of balance between the spiritual and the earthly realms. Yashoda Devi’s precise brushwork and natural palette breathe a sense of depth and tranquility into this poetic aquatic scene.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• A symbolic depiction of life, purity, and renewal through the lotus and fish motif
• Created using natural pigments on handmade paper
• Highlights Yashoda Devi’s mastery of rhythmic pattern and form
• A serene and harmonious piece from the Justin Imam Collection
