"Seva"- service, in the court of God is the most earnest form of devotion to the divine. Envisioning the serenity of a soul in service of the divine, this acrylic on canvas painting by Ranjit Sarkar presents two young women sitting in a temple courtyard, making a garland with freshly picked blossoms.
In the background of the painting is the temple wall, with a Ganesha sculpture and faint architectural details, adding a sense of heavenliness to the canvas.
In stark contrast to it, the attire of the female devotees is in a pleasing red hue- the color of auspiciousness. With hints of a smile on their countenance and downward-looking eyes, the women appear whole-heartedly devoted to the divinity that serenades them.
