"""""""Haripura posters by Nandalal captured moments of everyday Indian village life and culture. In this poster, he has depicted ‘Rati’ (a god of love of Hindu mythology) with a bow. The form has been articulated with earthen colour palette and swift strokes, executed their contours in a calligraphic manner that both the styles and subject matter exude the charm and playfulness often found in folk art. This aptly limns the figure with the artist's personal sensibilities towards India mythological sculptures and paintings."""""""
