Divine Ganesha Aipan Thali

This is a vibrant Aipan art product, a circular decorative plate or thali, showcasing the traditional folk art of Uttarakhand. The piece features a striking red background, achieved using 'Geru' (red clay pigment), which is typical of Aipan art. Intricate patterns are meticulously hand-painted in white 'Biswar' (a paste made from ground rice), and also in a bright yellow, possibly derived from turmeric or other natural pigments, adding depth and contrast. The central motif is a beautifully rendered white symbol of Lord Ganesha, encircled by a lotus-like design, signifying auspiciousness, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles. Surrounding this central design are concentric rings filled with traditional geometric patterns, stylized floral motifs, and delicate lines, all characteristic of Aipan artwork. The entire plate is finished with a golden rim, enhancing its festive and regal appearance. This product can be used for various purposes such as a decorative wall hanging, a puja thali for religious ceremonies, or as a vibrant centerpiece during festivals and auspicious occasions, embodying cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship.
