Jamini Roy
(1887 - 1972)

Untitled (Alpana)



The circle has been used through the ages to symbolise the cosmos, relating to the sun and other celestial bodies. The concept of the mandala too originates in the circle and other geometric shapes. Jamini Roy, who took inspiration from folk traditions, creates a circular flower motif which was an auspicious symbol of fertility, which ties to the decorative idiom rooted in mythology and folklore.
