About the piece
This 19th-century Kalighat painting from Calcutta captures the auspicious iconography of Gajalakshmi. Seated gracefully on a blooming lotus, the goddess Lakshmi is flanked by two elephants whose raised trunks pour water in a sacred ritual. Characterized by the bold, sweeping brushstrokes and rhythmic simplified forms of the Kalighat school, this work blends traditional religious devotion with a striking folk-art aesthetic.
