The series of images depicting the life of Jesus Christ is one of the most inventive styles in Jamini Roy's oeuvre. He brings to these divine figures both a sense of sacredness as well as a sense of intimacy. Here, the seated figure of Mary, the mother, with infant Christ on her lap is being hailed by worshiping figures who are kneeling and making offerings . Mary is framed by impressive architectural elements and the mood evoked is both celebratory and sacred.
