| Description |
Here Kartikeya, god of war and son of Shiva and Parvati, born to annihilate the demon Taraka, is provocatively depicted as a dandy. Sitting astride his vehicle, the peacock, Kartikeya has a Prince Albert hairstyle and buckled European shoes. Fashionably draping his shawl, Karitkeya's backdrop is a halo created by the peacock's tail. The painting integrates prevailing Bengali social mores with traditional images and themes. |
