This is a Madhubani Painting of Budha in one of the mudra called Dharamchakra mudra under the tree of life.

Madhubani painting

Devotee of Lord Krishna from Rajasthan (India) and one of the most significant figures of the Sant tradition of the Vaishnava bhakti movement. She has tried to give the message that Krishna bhakti is the best way to live life as it helps us forget our desires and this in turn helps us attain moksha (or oneness with the Lord).

Through This painting I tried to show her devotion and passion. That is why I believe it is very special.

This is the introduction part where I am going to write why and how I got into Madhubani art...

I have been unemployed for over two years now and I felt like a cute little pug (at least that is what people around tell me) lost in search of its home; in my case I am looking for my book of clues to find my treasure. One day when I was feeling blue my baby brother asked me a question that came of out no where, and the questions was ' What do you know about the Law of attraction ?.  Like any other normal person I told him like attracts like, and then I was reminded by my brother that what have I been doing with my life. Therefore, I was asked to read 'The Secret' to understand the complications of my life, and to use the law of attraction in its most beneficial way. And, believe me it has changed my life ever since.

Later, I was given this wonderful gift by my brother 'The Alchemist' the story of a shepherd named Santiago in quest of finding treasure following his recurring dream. Along his journey he had reached to a point where he had what he desired for so long his 'true love' despite that he went on to follow his deepest desire of finding the treasure, obviously his true love had to push him a little to convince him to follow his heart to find what he had been seeking for so long even in his dreams. 

So, the point which I am trying to make here is that like millions of other people I also admire the audacity the boy showed. I know that for sure that deep down even I am looking for something i.e. my personal legend, only awaiting for the clues to lead me to find my treasure. 

One fine day a close friend of mine (at least he is to me) asked what do I like to do to keep myself busy and I just told him that I think and I over think about things and then I draw useless conclusions about those thinks and like spiders I weave web for myself and to add the toppings I let myself be tangled in that mess very easily. In addition, I told him that when I am all tangled up and feel as if I have no where to go, I am stuck forever, that is the time I feel as if I have something to look on to. That is the point where my struggle to break free starts and I feel strong (which is silly) because at that point I am fighting with all that I have to reach to a stable point, to feel as if I am breathing. That is my personal war to be win, which I have always won.

I know it sounded way too complicated and I am pretty sure my friend felt the same way even though he did not say it. So, he asked me the strategy I follow to win over and I gave him all sort of answers again all complicated. Hence, I was given the only option to be specific using only a sentence. And that was the time I realized that to  recharge my batteries I read, I think (I cant help not to do so) and then I watch Youtube videos of paintings and romantic scenes.

At that point, I gathered that I love to watch people paint, then how come I never tried painting. The alchemist states, "Those who don't understand their personal legends will fail to comprehend its teachings." Now, when I paint I find the solace in the most discomforting times, I have stopped over thinking, I have stopped weaving the net and instead of fighting to untangle myself, I am playing with the colors. Honestly, I am in love with the colors,  Madhubani's exotic colors.

Though, I am still in the learning phase but this is how my painting journey started. I have been involved in Madhubani painting ever since...

I hope you like my effort to learn and feedback will be welcomed as that will let me  know  that  people  care

Thank you
