Description

Ganesha, because of the special boon he received from Lord Shiva, is the first among gods to be invoked before any ceremonial prayer or worship. Also known as the scribe of the gods, he records every thing that happens in the universe. The elephant head is symbolic of his vast memory. He is also regarded as the remover of all obstacles and the god of general well-being and prosperity. With Ganesha as the centerpiece of this wall-hanging, the artist has engraved the ten dashavatars or reincarnations of Lord Vishnu in soft and muted colors.
The specially processed and dried palm leaf is first cut into the required size. Artists from Orissa then engrave the palm leaf with a special iron-stylo. After the illustration is engraved, Lamp Black or powdered Coal is applied on the palm leaf. The engraved portion thus gets filled and highlighted in black line illustrations. Vegetable dyes are then used to fill in the illustrations with soft, subdued colors. Care is taken to remove the excess coal black on the palm leaf.
Each painting contains rows of circles which highlight some of the main illustrations. Circular discs, made out of palm leaf, are stitched over each circle. Each disc contains a 'semi-circular flap' which when lifted upwards forms a set of 2 complete illustrations, and sometimes even mantras, within each circle. This is a novel technique used by the artists to depict as many scenes or episodes as possible to illustrate the mythological tale.
