Product Description
The bright yellow dhoti forms the centre of the colour scheme, and the red and gold arch above it is hung with strings of pearl-like beads that reach down towards the figure. A pink fan and a small pot sit at his feet and repeat the colours found elsewhere in the composition. The ornament around the deity is thick and layered, with small jewels and floral motifs filling the arch, and the overall effect is festive without being cluttered. The seated pose gives the piece a stable, welcoming feel that suits a living room as well as a shrine.
Bihari ji, or Banke Bihari, is the presiding deity of the famous temple at Vrindavan and is loved for his tribhang pose, bent at the neck, waist and knee. Devotees say his gaze is so affecting that the temple curtain is drawn at intervals during darshan. A painting of this form brings that Vrindavan devotion into the home, and it is among the most requested subjects in the Madan Bihari Products range.
