Summary
- Mehendi artist Santanu Hazarika collaborated with sitarist Rishab Rikhiram Sharma.
- The mehendi design incorporated Shiva iconography, including a trident and serpent.
- The collaboration aimed to celebrate the union of visual and musical expression.
Renowned mehendi artist Santanu Hazarika collaborated with sitarist Rishab Rikhiram Sharma on a unique artistic project. Hazarika designed intricate mehendi patterns for Sharma's hands, intended to visually complement the 'Sitar for Mental Health India Tour.'
The design was deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, specifically drawing inspiration from Lord Shiva. Key motifs included the trident (trishul), a serpent (Naag), and a damru, symbolizing elements associated with Mahadev. These symbols were carefully integrated to represent both spiritual depth and artistic expression.
Hazarika explained that the collaboration originated from a mutual respect and long-standing acquaintance with Sharma. The initial concept for the mehendi design was based on Sharma's tradition of incorporating a trident in his pre-performance mehendi. This project highlights the successful fusion of visual artistry and musical performance.
