Cultural lore recounts that during the marriage of Sita and Lord Rama, King Janaka commissioned artists to adorn the city with sacred imagery — transforming domestic and ceremonial spaces into visual expressions of courage, destiny and celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003eWithin the Madhubani tradition, fish are among the most auspicious and frequently depicted symbols. Emerging from Mithila’s river-nourished landscape, they represent fertility, prosperity and life-giving water — essential forces sustaining agrarian life. In this composition, the repeated and flowing forms of the fishes create rhythmic movement, suggesting continuity and harmony. Intricate scales, bold outlines and dense patterning eliminate empty space, reflecting the cultural belief that fullness signifies abundance, protection and wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1598\"\u003eHistorically painted during rituals and seasonal observances, such compositions functioned as blessings for growth and renewal. Rendered in organic and water-based pigments using the non-rubbing tradition, this work preserves both symbolic integrity and inherited technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1600\" data-end=\"1952\"\u003eRecognised as a Geographical Indication (GI Application No. 37) and awarded GI status in 2006–2007 as the 30th registered GI product of India, Madhubani Painting remains protected in its regional authenticity. This piece, painted by Shri Lakshmiji, Chief Artist of Mithila, continues a lineage shaped by devotion, discipline and generational knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe frames shown are for display purposes only and are\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith the artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs these are made-to-order designer pieces, expect minor \u003cstrong\u003ecolour variations\u003c\/strong\u003e from the displayed artwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GiTagged","offers":[{"title":"20 x 27 inches","offer_id":44199180894231,"sku":null,"price":30200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7711\/9511\/files\/ChatGPTImageMay20_2026_05_14_17PM.png?v=1779277515","url":"https:\/\/www.brahmcollection.com\/en-in\/products\/madhubani-fishes-painting-2","provider":"Brahm Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
