Agni ( Rig Veda and Yajurveda):(34’’ X 48’’)               

         The Fire God or also  called  the  Sun  God are expressed  in different   hyms  from  Rig  Veda and Yajur Veda .This Art on Agni has 24 Hyms (From Rig  and  Yajur Veda)  which  are converted into   art  form   with   the   help  of  modern thoughts.

              The fire god is seen showering his blessing  on  the  devotee. Agni is not only a part of  every day  life, but  also  before birth (In the mothers  womb) and after  death. It is that warmness within the mothers womb that keeps the baby growing. And during the stay in this planet  earth man has his food cooked where  Agni  plays  a  part  of  daily  life and after  death  it is the fire / Agni that  releases the  soul   from  the   body   upon  cremation. When  the  body is burned ,  Agni  is  shown performing  a dance inviting  the soul  to the next  level . A  pot  which  cooks  daily food also   shows   different   living   beings   that survive  on  the  sun or the fire for their food indirectly .    Animals   like   peacock,    bull, tortoise,  and  cheetah  are some of the living creature   shown.  Fire  is also compared as a ferocious bull.

        The pragmentation of frogs shows the cry for rain. There were hoemas or offerings through  the  fire  which  were  carried out in the  Vedic  times  for  the  rain.  Agni   is the one  that  connects  the  devotee and the  god, Agni  leads  the  prayer of the devotee  to the god  like  a  father  leading  a  way to his son holding  his  hand.  Agni  is  also compare to horses,   the  speed   with   which  it  spreads, compare  to  the  speed of  horses. Also Agni takes  the prayer of the devotee  in  a  chariot driven by horses. When fire catches a forest, it shaves of  the forest  like a barber  shaving of  ones  head.  The energy circle within one are  also circle of  fire that  keeps all chakras healthy. The fire  presence is  also explained in the clouds(Water) during lightning.

     The parents for the fire are wood or logs that  help  fire  burn. There are lot of parents that eat away their new born sometimes, like cat ,  tiger and so on, but fire  is the only one that eats away it parents when born. As soon as  a  wood  is  put on fire , it burns the wood  immediately, This  is  compared to  the  salmon  fishes. Salmon    fishes are born  in  the  river  and travel to the

sea,  100’s    and   thousands   of  miles

where they spend  time to nourish their body. One they  wanted to lay egg they track   back  to   the  place  where  they were  born  and  try  swimming against the flow  of  water , eventually  forcing through  tough terrains. They hold their breath  till  they  reach their destination for  laying   egg  and  after  which  they sacrifices  themselves.  Once  the  eggs are hatched they  feed  on  the  flesh  of their  parents.  This  is  the  comparison done to Agni on this contest.

       It is not only in Hinduism that we lit  a lamp or candle for our prayers but also  in other  religions. This depts. it is through   Agni   all   prayers  are  made reached    to   the   almighty .  When   a burning  lamp, gets  off  by  its own , it is   considered    as   bad   omen.    This according to Veda are conveyed as that the  fire  god  or  Agni  doesn’t  wish to take ones prayer to the god.
