Fishes hold sacred significance in Eastern India, symbolizing prosperity and fertility. Their marriage is considered auspicious, signifying a good agricultural year ahead. This belief stems from the idea that a successful fish union represents abundance and productivity, crucial for feeding people who have fish as an important part of their diet. It is believed the people of Mithila were once saved from a drought by eating fish.

Two Pair of Fish, handmade by Ajay Kumar Jha, beautifully depicts this concept. Crafted from handmade paper, the artwork portrays two pairs of fish coming together, symbolizing unity and abundance. The intricate detailing captures the essence of fertility and blessings, making it a meaningful piece that embodies the hopes for a bountiful and prosperous year ahead.
