EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio from a Barahmasa, a 17th century Indian manuscript depicting the various months of the Hindu calendar, represents the Month of Bhadon, which corresponds to August-September in the Gregorian calendar. The scene unfolds on the rooftop of a grand architectural structure, where three figures are huddled together, seeking shelter from the monsoon rains. The man and woman, dressed in traditional Indian attire, are adorned in vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The man holds a bow and arrow, suggesting the possibility of an imminent hunt, while the woman wears a flowing sari and covers her head with a veil. An elephant, a common symbol of strength and power in Indian culture, stands majestically on top of the building, adding to the richness of the composition. The folio is executed in opaque watercolor ink and gold on paper, showcasing the intricate isometric details of the architecture and the intricacy of the clothing designs. This artwork, originating from the Malwa region of central India, Madhya Pradesh, is a testament to the rich literary and artistic heritage of Hindustan and South East Asia. The folio is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insights into the customs and traditions of the 17th century.
