Description:

"Hiranya Gaj" by Bhaskar Lahiri is a majestic and intricately detailed folk-art style painting of an ornately adorned elephant. Rendered in bold hues of saffron, red, and indigo, the artwork presents the elephant as a symbol of royal strength, wisdom, and cultural memory. The body of the elephant becomes a narrative tapestry featuring animals, birds, deities, dancers, musicians, and villagers in celebration. Its ornamentation includes mythological symbolism, tribal motifs, and regional storytelling rendered in vibrant, stylized forms. The background, filled with miniature village scenes and linear Warli-like drawings, contrasts the larger-than-life central figure, evoking themes of prosperity and cosmic harmony. This piece is an homage to India’s rural visual language, transformed into a striking modern decorative composition.
