In the nick of time, the Vishvaroopa is revealed to the pandava Arjuna. Of the numerous Vishvaroopas (theophanies of Lord Vishnu), the one that you see on this page remains the most legendary. For the erstwhile prince of Hastinapura, it transformed a moment of abject weakness into fuel for triumph. This life-sized oil painting captures the Vishvaroopa, which sprung to the vision of Arjuna in the thick of battle at Kurukshetra and set the warrior-prince upon the irreversible path of his dharma.

The Vishvaroopa is possessed of the heads of all the devas in the Hindu pantheon, from the wrathful to the equanimous. Above the row of gold crowns rises the multitude of hoods of the shashtanaga. Dressed in a gorgeously coloured dhoti and angavastram, the Vishvaroopa has an infinite number of limbs, each wielding a divine weapon against the onslaught of adharma. Statement gold adornments that convey the glamour of the Vishvaroopa, and the image of every imaginable deity on His skin and His attire and all over His very being.

At His feet is the chariot of Lord Krishna who is responsible for the revelation. Arjuna is overwhelmed and looks up to Vishvaroopa with superlative devotion. In a chariot of gold drawn by milk white horses, he is on the verge of charging into battle and fulfilling his duty ordained by the divine. The background comprises a view of the extensive Kaurava army, their flags blending into the gold and blue of the heavens above.

A Divine Revelation of Cosmic Form

This exquisite oil painting on canvas captures one of the most profound and awe-inspiring moments in Hindu scripture. It depicts the awe-inspiring Vishvaroopa, the cosmic form of Lord Krishna, as revealed to the warrior-prince Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. This pivotal moment, immortalized in the Bhagavad Gita, transcends ordinary understanding, offering a glimpse into the divine essence and the infinite nature of the Supreme Being. The canvas pulsates with divine energy. At its heart stands Krishna, radiating an otherworldly light, his central form serene and compassionate. Yet, this is no ordinary depiction. Surrounding him, cascading outwards, are myriad faces, each representing a different deity, element, or aspect of existence. Multiple heads of celestial beings and serpents form a radiant halo, symbolizing the boundless power and omnipresence of the divine. Numerous arms extend in all directions, each adorned with intricate jewelry and holding various divine weapons and symbols – the discus, mace, conch, lotus, and more – signifying the Lord's control over all creation and his ability to protect and destroy. The vibrant colors and meticulous detail bring to life the sheer magnificence and complexity of this universal form. The scene below places the viewer directly into the heart of the epic Mahabharata. Arjuna, humbled and awestruck, is shown in his chariot, his hands pressed in reverence. His charioteer, Lord Krishna, calmly guides the magnificent horses, the epitome of grace and divine intervention. The grand chariot itself, richly decorated, symbolizes the vehicle of destiny and the path of righteousness. The backdrop of an impending battle, with armies arrayed in the distance and a fiery sunset casting dramatic shadows, underscores the immense significance of this divine discourse. The moon and sun in the sky further emphasize the cosmic scale of the revelation, indicating that this vision encompasses all of time and space. This artwork is more than just a painting; it is an invitation to contemplate the infinite. It draws inspiration from tales where divine beings unveil their true forms to mortals, such as when the goddess Durga revealed her terrifying and glorious form to the gods to vanquish the demon Mahishasura. The Vishvaroopa is the ultimate manifestation of God's all-encompassing nature, a vision that can bestow liberation and profound spiritual understanding. It speaks to the ultimate reality that lies beyond human perception, the source from which all things originate and to which all things return. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of the divine within and around us, a testament to the eternal truths of existence.

A Masterpiece of Devotional Art

Created with masterful skill using oil on canvas, this artwork embodies a profound connection to the divine. The artist has meticulously rendered each element, from the shimmering jewels adorning the divine forms to the subtle play of light and shadow, creating a piece that is both visually stunning and spiritually resonant. The sheer scale of the canvas allows for an immersive experience, drawing the viewer into the heart of this sacred narrative. It is a treasure for any art collector or devotee seeking to bring the profound wisdom and divine presence of the Bhagavad Gita into their home. This painting is a conversation starter, a source of contemplation, and a beautiful testament to the enduring power of faith and divine revelation.

Oil painting technique – India centric

Oil painting is the most interesting technique in art. Unlike other paintings or art forms, oil painting is a process in which colored pigments are painted on the canvas with a drying oil medium as a binder. This medium helps colors blend beautifully to create layers and also makes them appear rich and dense. Several varieties of oil are used in this painting such as sunflower oil, linseed oil, etc., and depending on the quality of the oil, a particular consistency of the paint is developed. With the use of an oil medium, the painting gets a natural sheen on the surface which appears extremely attractive. India is famous for its old tradition of making oil paintings. This art form was brought by Europeans in the 18th century and is now practiced by almost all well-known artists. Nirmal, a small tribal town in the state of Telangana is the center of traditional oil paintings in India where the local people practice it with dedication. Most Indian artists still use the traditional technique of oil painting.

Canvas of the required size is prepared

The artists use either a wood panel or canvas made from linen or cotton. Sometimes the canvas is stretched onto the wooden frame to form a solid base, or cardboard may be used. The canvas is coated with a layer of white paint or chalk mixed with animal glue. This mixture is then smoothed and dried to form a uniform, textured surface. The wooden panel is more expensive and heavier but its solidity is an advantage in making detailed paintings with ease.

Sketch is drawn on the canvas

Now the artist starts to draw the subject of the painting on the canvas using the actual charcoal or a charcoal pencil. Sometimes, he may sketch with thinned paint as well.

Oil paint is applied using paint brushes or palette knives

Now that the rough sketch is prepared, the artist is now ready to paint. Oil paint, a special paint that contains particles of pigments suspended in a drying oil (usually linseed oil), is again mixed with oil to make it thinner for applying it on the canvas. Proper consistency of the paint is maintained to avoid its breakage. The most important rule for the application of oil paint is “Fat over lean” in which the first layer of paint is thin and later, thicker layers are applied. This means that each additional layer of paint contains more oil. This results in getting a stable paint film. Traditionally, paint was applied using paint brushes but now the artists also use palette knives to create crisp strokes. To paint using this technique, the edge of the palette knife is used to create textured strokes that appear different from that of a paintbrush. Sometimes, oil paints are blended simply using fingers for getting the desired gradation.

Smaller oil paintings, with very fine detail, are relatively easier to paint than larger ones. The most attractive feature of these paintings is the natural shiny appearance that is obtained on the surface because of the use of oil paint. The blending of colors looks extremely realistic and this is the reason why oil paintings are loved by everyone throughout the world.
