Mahaveer Shah looked at the photo of his dead son and daughter in law. He closed his eyes and shook his head. He thought about that fateful moment when he received the news that they had been dead by car accident. Their car had been hit by heavy truck.
After few moments he took the long breath and opened his eyes. He came in to the reality. He slowly moved his attention towards the next picture which was hanging on the wall.
It was the very old oil painting. The painting was covered by the glassy photo frame.
That oil painting was very rich in the color and texture. Though it seems very old but the time has not affected the texture of the painting. It still looks gracious and majestic.
Mahaveer Shah came in front of the painting. He then folded his hands. He closed his eyes and bow down his head in front of the picture.
His all grief and sorrows are removed and his thoughts are cleared. He felt the sense of the peace and calmness.
Whenever he feels the sadness, Mahaveer Shah always seeks the help from this picture to overcome his sadness.
It was not an ordinary painting. It was the painting of the “Goddess Harsiddhi”.
The Goddess Harsiddhi was the Kuldevi of his family and his dynasty. They are the worshipper of the Goddess Harsiddhi.
The oil painting was truly gem of an antic peace because the painter of this picture was also special person.
The person who made this painting was not an ordinary individual. The painter was none another than the “Sheth Jagdu Sha". The Mahaveer Shah was descendent of dynasty of “Sheth Jagdu Sha “.
The “Sheth Jagdu Sha” was the forefathers many generations ago.
