Bring home the divine grace of Navagunjara, a rare symbol of harmony and spiritual wisdom from Odia mythology. This exquisite figurine is handcrafted and hand-painted by Maavni’s master artisans using the traditional Pattachitra technique, blending intricate brushwork with timeless storytelling.

In the Odia Mahabharata, Navagunjara is a mystical form of Lord Vishnu that appeared before Arjuna—composed of nine creatures: the head of a rooster, neck of a peacock, hump of a bull, waist of a lion, tail of a serpent, and three grounded legs of an elephant, tiger, and horse, with one raised human hand holding a lotus. This composite form signifies the unity of all beings and the divine presence in every form of life.

Symbolic Interpretation

Every part of Navagunjara carries layered meaning:

Each figurine is painted with natural pigments on a smooth wooden base, detailed with fine linework and balanced temple-style borders. Layers of color create depth and luminosity, while a protective topcoat ensures long-lasting vibrance.
