EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustration to the Bhagavata Purana: Jambavan gives the Symantaka jewel to his daughter" takes us on a journey into the mystical world of Indian mythology. Created in the 18th century, this masterpiece belongs to the Basohli-Guler style and measures 31.1x41.3 cm. The image depicts Jambavan, known as the Bear King, returning to his cave where an old woman lovingly tends to his son. In this tender moment, Jambavan presents a precious jewel called Symantaka to his daughter for her amusement. The princess, with innocence shining in her eyes, holds the jewel delicately in her hand while sitting on an intricately designed cot. The artwork beautifully portrays anthropomorphic characters and showcases elements of Hinduism through its symbolism and rich colors created using opaque pigment and gold on paper. As we gaze upon this scene filled with peace and tranquility, we are transported into a realm where mythological beings coexist harmoniously with humans. This illustration captures not only a father's love for his children but also highlights themes of care, family bonds, and mythical tales that have been passed down through generations. With its intricate details and cultural significance rooted in Indian folklore, this print invites us to explore the depths of Hindu mythology while appreciating the skillful artistry of Indian School from centuries ago.
