Art print - “Veena Vilasini”: Goddess Saraswati in a Garden of Music & Devotion

Provenance

Veena Vilasini presents Goddess Saraswati seated upon a grand blooming lotus, playing the veena beneath an intricately ornamented ceremonial canopy. Flanked by attendants carrying lotus blossoms, fly-whisks, and sacred books, she is surrounded by sacred cows, swans, flowering banana trees, birds, and celestial figures showering garlands beneath a star-filled night sky and luminous moon. Together, these elements create an abundant sacred landscape centred on music, devotion, knowledge, and artistic expression.

Drawing from the visual language of traditional Pichwai art, the artwork combines devotional imagery with intricate botanical and ornamental detailing. The repeating floral medallion border, scalloped ceremonial canopy, lotus-filled waters, and symmetrical arrangement lend the composition the richness and layered character of a devotional textile, while the central placement of Saraswati creates a sense of calm, balance, and visual harmony.

Deep midnight black, rich crimson, ivory, antique gold, sage green, and soft pink create a layered and luminous palette. The veena, lotus blossoms, swans, sacred cows, fly-whisks, and celestial figures reinforce traditional associations with music, knowledge, purity, and divine grace, giving the composition a sense of ceremonial richness and timeless devotion.
