Portrait Painting: A Perfect Gift for a Perfect Father

With Father’s Day round the corner, every son or daughter must be thinking about gifting his or her father with something special, unique and memorable. Portrait painting is the ideal gift to honor the men who have dedicated themselves to being good providers and fine examples to their children. It is believed that a painting is worth a thousand words so go for the gift that can convey your affection without a need for you to utter a single word.

Portrait Ideas for Gifting Your Father

The first of the Father's Day portrait tips that you can try is to have a modern portrait of your dad made. You can gift your father a portrait in a suit or a tuxedo against a neutral background. Such a picture will be great to hang in his office or study.

If your father is a big cricket or football fan and had been a player at some point of time in the past, then you can gift a portrait of him in sports attire. Looking at himself in an attire of sports that he is crazy about will always fill him with thrill and excitement.

Another great tip is to gift a portrait of him in traditional or ethnic attire. Your father must have worn the ethnic attire at some or the other occasion in his life like his marriage or a religious function. On seeing his large portrait done in attire which he is no more in touch with, will not only amuse him but will fill him with a sense of royal pride.

You can have a portrait of your dad that includes the people who matter the most to him with he being the focal point - that means your mother, you, your siblings and your kids if your dad is lucky enough to be a grandpa by now. Nothing can give more happiness to a father than being surrounded by a happy, cheerful and loving family.

And last but not the least, you can have a colored portrait painting done from an old and not-so-clear photo of your father lost somewhere in the dusty albums lying in some corner of your home. This is the best way to make this day memorable for him as one look at the portrait that is a great transformation of a tattered photograph, will bring all the cherished memories of the moments captured in the photograph back.

Radha –Krishna Paintings in Vaastu

Hindus love to adorn their houses with Radha-Krishna painting. You can see a Radha Krishna painting in almost every Hindu’s home. It is a symbol of eternal and unconditional love.

Why Radha – Krishna Paintings are auspicious?

According to Hindu mythology, Krishna is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and Radha is the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. In other words, it is a story of love between God and Goddess in human form. So it is believed to be a divine love story that can inspire, ignite and sustain love among couples.

Relevance of Radha- Krishna Painting In Vaastu

1.     In vaastu, it is believed that a Radha Krishna painting in the bedroom not only improves the marital relations but enhances love between the couple. This is the only reason that the painting of only one deity, i.e. Radha and Krishna, is allowed in the bedroom.

2.     A Radha –Krishna painting in the room of an unmarried girl or boy can fetch him or her ideal and loving life partner.

3.     Radha-Krishna Painting on the opposite wall of the entrance gate can prevent any discord in marital relations.

Radha – Krishna Painting: An Ideal Gift

As I said earlier, every Hindu loves to have Radha-Krishna painting in his house, so it is the perfect gift on occasions like house-warming ceremony or a festival.

 Don’ts:

Radha- Krishna painting is a symbol of love but it should never be gifted to a newly married couple. The story of Radha Krishna is also a story of pain and separation in love.  For Krishna and Radha, the days of love and happiness were limited and short.This is the one reason why you shouldn’t gift Radha Krishna idols as a wedding gift. Radha Krishna idols represent a short-lived love. For a newlywed couple, you should be wishing a long lasting relationship and as it turns out, Radha Krishna idols are not the best gift to buy for this occasion.
