Sankirtan Party in Jagannath Puri

This original oil painting on linen canvas captures the joyous spirit of a Sankirtan party led by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (Gauranga Mahaprabhu), an incarnation of Lord Krishna who appeared in Nadia, West Bengal, in the 15th century. Painted using traditional old master techniques with the highest quality materials, this artwork is crafted to last for centuries. Lord Chaitanya, the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the role of His own devotee, exemplified the path of Krishna consciousness through public congregational chanting (Sankirtan).
The painting evokes the vibrant scenes described in sacred texts: 'When the eastern horizon became tinged with the redness that heralds the rising sun, Lord Chaitanya, the jewel among Brahmanas, awakened and journeyed through the towns and villages of Nadia, His golden form trembling with ecstatic love, accompanied by the resounding music of drums and cymbals.'
This piece radiates divine joy and spiritual celebration.
