Radiant Lord of Beasts by Parwati Devi

Parwati Devi
Description
Radiant Lord of Beasts by Parwati Devi is a 2009 Sohrai painting that captures the sacred energy of Pashupati, Lord of Animals, through bold rhythmic patterns and earthy tones. The use of red, brown, and white reflects Sohrai’s connection to fertility and the renewal of life. Parwati Devi translates this ritual symbolism into a powerful visual language—where Lord Shiva, in his animal form, embodies both protection and primal strength.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- A striking depiction of divine and animal unity central to Sohrai philosophy.
- Distinctive concentric and linear motifs radiate energy and balance.
- Natural pigments evoke the grounded beauty of Jharkhand’s earth.
- A compelling blend of spirituality and folk expression.
Ideal for collectors who appreciate tribal art rooted in spiritual symbolism and organic design traditions.

1. What does Radiant Lord of Beasts depict?
The painting portrays Pashupati, the Lord of Animals—a divine protector figure associated with fertility, nature, and balance. Parwati Devi’s rhythmic lines and natural pigments convey the life force that connects all living beings, a central theme in Sohrai tradition.
2. How does this artwork reflect Sohrai culture?
It embodies the Sohrai festival’s essence, which celebrates the harmony between humans, animals, and the land. The earthy palette and symmetrical design echo the murals women traditionally paint on mud walls during harvest and festive seasons.
3. What materials are used in the painting?
Parwati Devi uses natural pigments—red and brown clays, white kaolin, and black from local earth minerals—on handmade paper. These colors are characteristic of Sohrai art, giving the work its warmth and authenticity.
4. What makes Parwati Devi’s work distinctive?
Her paintings merge sacred symbolism with an instinctive sense of rhythm and balance. In Radiant Lord of Beasts, she channels ancient myth into a living visual form, preserving tribal heritage while creating art that feels timeless and deeply human.
