The Indigo Arts website has remained active during the widespread shutdowns due to the COVID-19 virus. We have had to limit our activities since the March 23rd "Stay at Home" order in Philadelphia. Under current rules I have been able to resume most operations but still must limit visitors to the gallery, by appointment only. I am monitoring orders and responding to inquiries. I am now able to pack and ship most orders within a few days. Please stay safe!

Shivji and the Mahua flowers (the stages of intoxication)

SKU: Gond-8

Rajendra Shyam

India

Patangarh, Madhya Pradesh State
c.2011
Acrylic on canvas
(48" h. x 30" w. )

In this painting the artist depicts the stages a person goes through when he is intoxicated. Once Lord Shiva was doing penance under a tree he felt thirsty; he looked around for water and found it in a hollow of the Mahua tree. He did not realize that the water contained fermented Mahua flowers. After sipping some, he was euphoric, felt light in the head and became very talkative and chirped like a parrot. He could not resist and had some more. The more he had the louder and aggressive he got, it was as though he had taken the persona of a tiger. By this time he had lost all his senses and could not stand and started rolling on the ground like a wild boar.
