Rajasthani Women, a Mural for Home Decor
I got this mural of Rajasthani women framed and it was delivered to me yesterday. It took me a little more than three months to complete this wall art for my living room. One to two hours of work on it every working day for those three and half months.
Mural for home decor – theme: Rajasthani Women
I had given it for framing and almost forgot about it. The guy who does the framing gave a date last week, with all the chaos that was going on, it slipped off my mind. Yesterday he reminded me again, his payment was stuck up.
Rajasthani women mural for home decor
Seeing my own work, neatly framed, I was filled with happiness and satisfaction. It cheered me up beyond words. I had been dreaming about it, just as I was dreaming about my Rajasthan trip. When I was rolling the M-seal strips for outlining the drawing, I was dreaming about the Rajasthani women. Do they really look like this?
Half way through the work, I left for the Rajasthan tour. I came back to paint in colors like the ones I saw there. I could give shape to the jewelries in the mural I was making because I saw the Rajasthani women and their varied jewelries. Soon it was complete; it was like bringing the Rajasthani women to my drawing room.
The post will be incomplete if I don’t mention my teacher’s name, Mrs. Mridula Banerjee, an accomplished artist. I am grateful to her for the immense amount of patience she had in teaching ‘a not so talented person’ like me.

I like it very much! It is very pretty, and the frame with the mirror is cleverly done.
Your “mother and child” mural I love too, especially the colours in that one. Beautiful warm shades of blue!
So you are an artist too?!
What a wonderful creation you have brought into the world. A labor of love.
Is this a painting or needle work?
Whatever it is, it is really great. You have an eye for detail!
