Measuring 21.6 x13 cm, this masterpiece is housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA as part of the Edwin Binney 3rd Collection. The artwork depicts a majestic castle-like fortress that exudes an aura of religious significance and mythical allure. With its intricate details rendered using opaque watercolors and gold on paper, it transports viewers to a realm steeped in Hinduism and South Asian legends. The citadel stands tall against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient India, evoking feelings of awe and wonderment. Its golden hues glisten under sunlight, radiating opulence and power associated with Ravana, a central figure in Hindu mythology. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported into an enchanting world where gods and demons collide amidst epic battles described in texts like Ramayana. The dwelling symbolizes not only architectural grandeur but also serves as a testament to human imagination woven into religious narratives. This print invites us to explore the rich tapestry of Indian culture through its magnificent buildings while delving deep into mythological tales that have shaped societies for centuries.
