When I see Lakshmi-Narayana together, I do not merely see the Lord and His consort. I see the promise that Narayan watches over every step I take, while Lakshmi fills my heart with hope when I feel empty. Together they remind me that the greatest wealth is not what I possess, but the certainty that I am always under Their gaze.I painted this scene, I wanted to express a comforting thought that the universe is never left unattended.

This was my 1st alcohol markers painting

this hand-drawn sketch depicts SHRI LALITA TRIPURASUNDARI (श्री ललिता त्रिपुरसुन्दरी) seated upon a swing beneath a royal canopy 👑✨ attended with devotion by the ASHTA MATRIKAS (अष्टमातृकाः)🌸🏵️

at the upper right, MAHESHWARI 🐍🔱 (माहेश्वरी) tenderly combs the devi's hair.

below her, VAISHNAVI 🐚🪷 (वैष्णवी) offers a lotus in humble devotion.

beside them, BRAHMANI 🪕🎶🎵 (ब्राह्मणी) fills the surroundings with the melody of the veena.

at the center, KAUMARI 🪔🪔 (कौमारी) kindles the ceremonial lamp, illuminating the divine assembly.

at the lower left, CHAMUNDA 🌺💀 (चामुण्डा) devoutly weaves a garland of hibiscus flowers for the devi.

while above her AINDRI 🌿♥️ (ऐन्द्री) adorns the devi's feet with alta.

at the upper left, VARAHI 🐗🍃 (वाराही) waves the venchamaram in honor of the devi.

as NARASIMHI 🦁🪭 (नारसिंही) gently fans the devi.

the mirror in shri lalita's hand reflects KALI 🪞🔥🗡️ (काली), symbolizing the one supreme adishakti in both gentle and fierce forms. 🪷✨

I wanted to try something clever. To me it came out like what I had in mind but next time I try this I'll change a lot.

this is hand-drawn depiction of the divine royal court of SHRI LALITA TRIPURASUNDARI from the shrividya tradition. 🌺✨

at the center is SHRI LALITA TRIPURASUNDARI (श्री ललिता त्रिपुरसुंदरी) seated on the panchapretasana (पंचप्रेतासन), where BRAHMA (ब्रह्मा), VISHNU (विष्णु), RUDRA (रुद्र), and ishana (ईशान) form the four legs of the throne, while SADASHIVA (सदाशिव) serves as the seat.🌼

on either side stand LAKSHMI (लक्ष्मी) holding a kalasha 🏺🪙 and SARASWATI (सरस्वती) playing the veena 🪕📖 both fanning the goddess. 🪭 🪭

flanking them are SHYAMALA (श्यामला / मंत्रिणी), the prime minister with her veena and parrots 🪕🦜, VARAHI (वाराही / दंडिनाथा), the commander-in-chief holding a plough 🗡️🔱

below are VIGHNESHVARA (विघ्नेश्वर) with mushaka 🌺✨

SAMPATKARI (संपत्करी) commanding the elephant battalion 🐘🚩

BALA TRIPURASUNDARI (बाला त्रिपुरसुन्दरी), daughter of devi 🌷✨

ASHVARUDHA (अश्वारूढा) commanding the horse battalion 🐎 🚩

KARTIKEYA (कार्त्तिकेय) with his mayur 🦚 and vel 🗡️

i also applied a simple black-and-white balance edit and a parchment texture to give the artwork an old manuscript-like appearance while preserving the original line art.📜✨🌼

i tried my best to stay faithful to the traditional shrividya iconography.🙇🏻‍♀️💛

if i've made any mistakes or overlooked any details, i sincerely apologize and would be grateful for any corrections or feedback. 🙏🏻🌺

thank you.😊

Hand-painted with acrylic colors 🎨✨ This painting is almost 3 years old now 🌸

I rarely make sketches—I’m more into paintings 🎨. Let me know your thoughts and any suggestions for improvement 😊

Devi has been the ultimate source of everything

First time sharing my Aipan art here. What would you rate it out of 10? Any suggestions to improve are appreciated

As the marketing team of Ramayana is not releasing any promotional material or updates regarding the film so I thought of making a poster from the teaser, just to build the hype....I hope you like it ❤
