Sanjhi art is a traditional art that originated in Mathura. In this art form, designs are cut delicately on a paper with different motifs that are related to Krishna and other mythological stories. It is not only aesthetically appealing but is also a form of spiritual worship. The beauty of Indian art lies in adaptability. In the way the artist maneuvers and gives it a new expression. This diary from Krishnayan is unique. On a wooden surface a" Tree of life" is carved with little plants on either side. The significance of "Tree of life" is that it indicates prosperity and abundance.
The beauty of Indian art is that the same motif can be depicted in different ways. This tree of life motif has been inspired by Sanjhi art which is actually done on paper; however here it has been painted on a quilt. The evergreen tree gives refuge to birds and animals with blue sky in the background and feather-like clouds all over. The beautiful border and tiny evergreen tree all around only adds to the charm. The effect is for all of us to see. Each art work creates a magic of its own!
