Description
this is a commissioned Painting, created by me. She is the Indian bride with Solah Shringar waiting for her hubby. The atmosphere is filled with Love, Fresh air, colors, light, flowers, and serenity.
"Literally, ‘Solah’ means Sixteen (16) and ‘Shringar’ means makeup or adornments. ‘Solah Shringar’ encompasses sixteen basic steps of beautification of a woman from head to toe. It details the process and also includes the guidelines ondulhan makeup - solah shringaar makeup accessories and ornaments. Solah Shringar is a ritual, passed down through ancient culture and is meant to adorn and bestow gifts of beauty on her.
The Solah Shringar acknowledges and celebrates the beauty and divinity of the female form. There is a belief that certain ornaments and embellishments enhance the beauty of a woman giving her a celestial appearance. According to Hindu mythology “sixteen shringars” correspond to the sixteen phases of the moon which in turn is connected with a woman’s menstrual cycle. Solah Shringar is said to nullify the negative effect of that cycle.
Word “Shringar” is made of ‘Shri’ which means “Lakshmi”, the goddess of wealth, beauty, luck and prosperity. It is generally related to Indian wedding which is one of the most significant and important day for a woman. It is the day that marks her transition into womanhood.
