Our interpretation of the Boishnab Bedal or the Ascetic Cat, though more rotund and adorable than the previous icons, takes the same jab at moral duplicity.
It’s a sly nod to the hypocrisy often found in religious circles. The ascetic who preaches abstinence by day but revels in earthly pleasures by night—the cat embodies that contradiction.
It invites all to rethink the structures that govern society. With each stroke of the artist’s brush, this hand painted icon asks us to look beyond the surface and confront the contradictions within our cultural and religious institutions.
