Brahma on Hamsa – Kalighat Painting Reprint (A3 Poster)

Key Features:

• 19th-Century Kalighat Revival – This rare artwork is a digitized reproduction of an original Kalighat painting from 19th-century Calcutta. Known for its bold brushstrokes and expressive folk style, Kalighat art was a popular medium for storytelling during the British Raj.
• Seated Brahma Figure with Hamsa Motif – The painting portrays a multi-faced, seated figure symbolizing the creator archetype, resting on a traditional wooden bench with a white swan (hamsa) at the foot—an emblem of knowledge, purity, and refined perception.
