In Vadodara, Ganapatis presence is not limited to Ganesha pandals and music concerts alone. It seems to be all-pervading. At Kriti art gallery, four city artists enlivened the Ganeshotsav passion by displaying paintings and sculptures of Lord Ganesha. The works were of Jalendu Dave, Dashrath Prajapati, Pradip Chauhan and Ruma Sharma.The exhibition, which ended a day back, reflected the mythological tales weaved around Lord Ganesha. Tantrik paintings, an implausible art which include paintings with shlokas, names, yantra and other legends of Lord Ganesha, were displayed at the art gallery.Jalendu Dave, an artist who is well-known for his Tantrik paintings of Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva and other deities, said his paintings were a combination of art and intuition. “This art has Indian origin and due to very accurate and minor work, it needs thorough knowledge of mythology and art. Tantrik painting is a very rare form of art and has its own uniqueness,” said Dave.The exhibition also showcased different paintings portraying Lord Ganesha playing different musical instruments. The sculptures displayed at the show were made of ceramic, copper and clay. Varieties of stones and bronze were carved beautifully.The exhibition drew many visitors. Ananya Adya, an art lover, said, “I have seen many exhibitions but this was the first time that I came across such inimitable paintings of Lord Ganesha. The Tantrik paintings are a wonderful piece of art. The way the artist brushed mythological shlokas, symbols and yantras in paintings mesmerized me.”
