Description

Over nine nights of Navratri, the goddess Durga is worshipped in nine distinct forms — from Shailaputri to Siddhidatri — each representing a different stage of strength, courage and grace. This box places the goddess at the centre of its lid and lets her nine forms unfold along the sides, in the gold-rich, richly ornamented style of Tanjore art from Tamil Nadu.

Traditional Tanjore painting is known for its raised gesso work, gold leaf and sometimes semi-precious stone detailing, a technique developed under the Maratha rulers of Thanjavur and still closely associated with festive, devotional art. This box captures that same richly ornamented visual style and gold-toned palette in a flat, hand-painted reproduction rather than the raised gesso-and-gold-leaf original technique, keeping the look accessible on an everyday storage box.

With six internal compartments, this box is built for someone who wants both a serious jewellery organiser and a genuine piece of festive art — a natural gift for Navratri, Durga Puja, or any celebration honouring the goddess in her many forms.

The Tanjore-style artwork is applied to the box through decoupage and finished with a clear-coat seal.

Material: Tanjore-style artwork on medium-density engineered wood, decoupage finish, clear-coat sealant

Dimensions: 21.8cm x 25.5cm x 10.2cm
