There is a strong element of fantasy in the richly saturated palette that Jamini Roy creates from a limited range of vegetable, mineral and earth colours. He drew the imagery using simplification of forms inspired by the folk arts of the region that had evolved over the centuries. The bright colours and flat forms demolish the boundaries of naturalism and lend a playful mood to this depiction of the goddess Durga on her mount, the tiger.
