About this Product
Lovingly created, high quality print of an original art made by me. Each print is unique because it is retouched by hand to give it the feel of an original art.
Sita is an incarnation of goddess Laxmi and the daughter of Bhoomi devi (Mother Earth).
She was found as an infant in a field by the great king Janak and was adopted by him. Along with being highly educated and trained in music/dance, she was also a great warrior, skilled in martial arts. She was married to the crown prince of Ayodhya- Sri Ram and subsequently went into the forest with him and his brother Laxman when he was exiled for 14 years. In the forest, the demoness Shurpanakha (the sister of Ravan, the demon king of Lanka) got attracted to Sri Ram and transformed herself into a beautiful woman to seduce him, but had her ears and nose cut off by Laxman. To avenge his sister’s insult, Ravan Kidnapped Sita killing Jatayu (the king of vultures). The kind and brave monkey god Hanuman acted as Sri Ram’s messenger and took his ring to Sita (while she was held captive in Lanka). After a long battle, Sri Ram killed Ravan and freed Sita. But, she had to go through an Agni pareeksha (trial by fire), to prove her innocence. She finally went back to rule with Sri Ram and after a series of events, gave up life on Earth and went back to her mother- Bhoomi devi.

Meet the Maker
As an artist, I love creating. I love to express myself and give form to my thoughts and emotions.
I work with oil, acrylics, charcoal and dabble a little in photography too. I also make hand painted unique gifts like coasters, jewelry boxes, make up pouches, tote bags... A whole lot of effort and love goes into each and every one of my art pieces. A bit of my soul finds its way into it. All my artwork is one of a kind and labor intensive.
My work provides an emotional window to a beautiful creation - woman. By exploring the different lenses of culture, mythology and religion, I express the myriad of emotions which define her. She dons many hats that test the limits of her endurance. She could be as mythical as a goddess or celestial being, or as real as the girl next door, but, she is the center of all my art. My art is a humble attempt at capturing her essence and is my tribute to her...
Over the course of time, I have had multiple requests for the same artwork and also for something that can fit everyones budget. So I decided to sell high quality prints of my paintings, drawings and photographs. What makes each print unique is that it’s painstakingly retouched by hand to give it the look and feel of an original art. So no two prints are exactly the same... they have individual little touches.
