About the Artwork +

Vidya Soni portrays a remarkable creation that marries tradition, spirituality, and intricate craftsmanship. This choice of canvas adds an extra layer of significance, as it is meant to be an integral part of the offering to the deity being worshipped. The Mandana pattern is inspired by the rich tapestry of weaves found in traditional Indian textiles. This design pays homage to the diverse weaving traditions that have adorned the country for centuries. With an eye for detail, the artist translates these intricate patterns onto the Mandana canvas, creating a mesmerising fusion of art and tradition. This act of devotion adds an aesthetic dimension to the offering and also encapsulates the reverence and care with which it is made. The artwork is a reflection of the deep spiritual connection that binds art and worship in the tapestry of Indian culture.

    Mandana


    Mandana art is a traditional form of tribal art, mainly practiced by the Meena community in the state of Rajasthan. The word Mandana literally means to ‘put down’ or ‘decorate’ and extends to an art form often used to ornament the mud house, walls, or chulhas within the tribe, serving both decorative and ritualistic purposes.  History and Legend The exact historical timeline of Mandana art is uncertain, however, it is believed to be as old as the Meena community itself, which has inhabited the region for thousands of years. Traditionally the household women used this art form to adorn their homes, especially during festivals and auspicious occasions such as Diwali, Holi, Govardhan puja, marriage, and childbirth. It was considered the symbol of auspiciousness and put to ward off the evil. Technique and Details Mandana art is created using simple materials like chalk, clay, or natural pigments. Traditionally, the ground is prepared first with a mixture of cow dung and rati (a local clay). Women use their fingers, sticks, or small rudimentary brushes to create designs using lime or chalk powder. The color palette is typical with white against a backdrop of earthen colors like red or brown. The designs are often large-scale with motifs generally inspired by nature like trees, animals, birds, and traditional symbols such as the swastika, which represents good fortune and prosperity. The design may show Ganesha, peacocks, women at work, tigers, floral motifs, etc.  FAQs How do Mandana paintings differ from other Indian folk art forms?Mandana paintings are distinct from other Indian folk art forms due to their simplicity, geometric precision, and the use of natural materials. Unlike more elaborate and colorful folk arts like Madhubani or Warli, Mandana art is characterized by its minimalistic approach, using primarily white and red colors to create symbolic and protective designs. Can Mandana paintings be customized? Yes, Mandana paintings can be customized to fit different surfaces, sizes, and design preferences. Many artisans and contemporary artists offer custom Mandana art on canvas, fabric, or even wall murals for modern homes and commercial spaces.
