Panihari : The water woman of India,
Mount on 12" x 16" Canvas, Medium - Acrylics.
When I started this painting I was not sure for its name.
But today morning, I found a video and when I saw it, I got my answer.. Its perfect, "Panihari : The water woman of India". Panihari means "Woman who does the work of carrying water".
A very important task, and its a routine for all woman who lives in small village.
Every morning they fetch / Collect water from River, Pond or Well for house-hold purpose.

Even today in some area of Gujarat & Rajasthan woman does this job.
This time I experiment with dark colors to give these ladies "गॉव की गोरी " (Village Girl) look.
One more thing I've added here is "The hair decoration" to the woman in red.
Last month we went to "Maximum India Festival" in DC, and something I loved the most is the hair decoration piece, (specially for long braid hair styles) you can see that below..
This has a lot of detailing, a beautiful thing..! And this one is my favorite picture too...
I am Gujarati, and I can not forget my favourite Garbo (Song) that explain more about "Panihari".
Lovely music and sweet words.. And this is my first Video in YouTube..
I can not forget to share that video, that inspired me to name this painting
"Panihari - The water woman of India"
Well I hope you like this one too...
Take care guys..!!
