Uma for her devotees in the Eastern region of India, is not a distant divine image, but a member of their kin, their daughter, who is loved more than revered, celebrated more than worshipped. This acrylic on canvas painting by Jugal Sarkar, Devi Uma Parvati thus appears in the attire of a newlywed Bengali woman- dressed in the quintessential red and white wedding ensemble, with a handful of Sindoor adorning her head, and auspicious Aalata on her hands. She holds a bunch of yet-to-bloom lotuses, which symbolize the early stages of youth which Devi has devoted to the feet of her beloved Shiva. Filling the canvas with his cosmic energy, the countenance of a mediating Shiva is painted in the backdrop, whose ascetic quality contrasts yet complements the ethereal beauty of Uma, presenting a serene vision of Shiva and Shakti to infuse the ambiance with eternal sacredness.
