Harihara attended by Parvati and Lakshmi is a 1820 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a central figure with four arms, wearing bright jewelry and a purple headpiece. Two women stand on either side, holding flowers and musical instruments. The central figure has a calm face and holds a fan and a lotus bud. The title says this is Harihara with two goddesses, Parvati and Lakshmi, but the painting looks more like a mix of styles. The bright colors and detailed patterns stand out against the plain background. If you like this mix of styles, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like it.
The sculpture depicts Harihara flanked by Parvati on one side and Lakshmi on the other.
