Royal Kadamba Tree on Bikaner Stamp (2025) Original Gouache Painting by Mukesh Swami

This original miniature painting is part of the Royal Stamp Series, created on an authentic Bikaner State Revenue Stamp dating from the British era. The artwork features a finely hand-painted Royal Kadamba Tree, a sacred tree deeply associated with the divine pastimes of Lord Krishna in Vrindavan. According to Indian tradition, the Kadamba Tree is remembered as the tree where Lord Krishna playfully hung the colourful chunaris of the Gopis during one of his joyful divine pastimes, symbolising affection, devotion, and the playful bond between Krishna and the Gopis.
Executed in the traditional Bikaner miniature style using natural pigments and a single-hair brush, the artwork preserves the historic revenue stamp, original handwritten script, and official seals, creating a unique fusion of historical heritage and miniature painting.

This one-of-a-kind artwork is ideal for collectors of Indian miniature paintings, Krishna-inspired art, botanical heritage, and historic archival documents.
