Paying homage to the Hindu god Ganesha, or Vinayaka, Devendra Kumar Jha works with family members to paint the deity in the traditional style of Madhubani paintings. Originating from India's Maithili village, this painting features an impressive level of intricacy and detail, finished with vibrant colors that express the artist's religious passion. The four-armed elephant-man Ganesha stands with one leg crossed over the other, surrounded by flowers and accompanied by a rat that rests underfoot.
