This is the eighteenth painting of the series. The artist has painted a common man, a kumhar, the creator of earthen pots. He ensures that every pot has Ram naam written on it. He is an old man with dark complexion and grey hair with his hairs tied in a small knot. The wrinkles on his forehead and his face reflect his concentration and his will to do the best. He has a high raised eyebrow, very attractive almond eyes, small batwing moustache and a recessed chin. He has applied a chandan spot on his forehead, wearing a simple white dhoti and has kept a cotton red check towel in his shoulder to dry and clean his hand whenever necessary. All kinds of pot and pot material are lying near him. There are solid dry clay kept little far near a tree, wet clay, wet pot kept with Ram written on it, stick to give circular motion to the potter’s wheel and a bowl of water with a twig in it is kept very near him. Dry pot is carefully kept under a leafless tree. Two vultures are seen enjoying flesh of a white cow. They represent death. They are the dutiful workers of God, cleaning away the matter after the soul has left the body for a peaceful and happier world. The artist has painted two different variety of trees, one leafless to show absence of life under which the vultures are eating, and the other trees are in full blossom with white flowers. The two vultures are symbolic representation of Sampati and Jatayu. Both of them have helped Ram to find Sita after her abduction by Ravana. They play a very crucial role by pointing out the directions; without Jatayu informing Ram that Sita is being carried away to the South; it would have been difficult for Ram to locate her whereabouts. The elder brother Sampati pointed out the exact direction of Lanka, without him the vanaras would have been lost in the vast sea. The sky reflects a very bright day with blue sky changing to lightest of blue. The artist wants to express the idea that our life takes birth from earth and will finally dissolve in it. It is shapeless like a lump of clay at the time of birth. Slowly as the kumhar transforms the lump of clay to a pot, in the same way our life is transformed according to our desired shape. Rama naam gives direction to life. As the earth changes the form from wet clay to wet pot to dried pot to baked pot but after sometime it is bound to change to earth and again the process of recreating starts. But the earth will always remain the same. In the same way our soul is immortal, a form of energy; as energy is indestructible, it can neither be created nor be destroyed; it only changes the form. So is our body, it is only a form of earth, it can take whatever form the nature provides, but the soul or the energy always remains the same. The body is only a garment. Living beings only give up the bodily dress at death, but the soul does not change. The artist, through this painting, reflects this philosophy of circle of life and death. The kumhar is representing life from birth till death and the vulture is representing death in form of decay of body and its final merger into earth. It is giving a chance to nature to create life again.
