EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Mahajanaka Jataka" showcases an exquisite engraving from around 1910, created by the talented Laotian School. Housed in a private collection, this remarkable piece delves into the realm of religion and Buddhism. The image depicts a significant moment where the dedicating chariot of Mithilah's new king embarks on an extraordinary journey towards Prince Mahajanaka, who represents the previous incarnation of Buddha. Intriguingly, the engraving portrays the miraculous sight of the chariot moving autonomously as it approaches Prince Mahajanaka amidst his struggle with drowning. This illustration is part of "Mahajanaka Jataka" which belongs to a series known as Jataka tales that narrate stories about Buddha's early lives. Originating from Laos during circa 1910, this artwork offers a glimpse into Buddhist folklore and its rich cultural heritage. The composition beautifully captures elements such as cart, coach, horse car, and hippomobile against an Indian backdrop. It also alludes to concepts like reincarnation and samsarah prevalent in Hinduism and Buddhism. With its intricate details and profound symbolism, this enchanting engraving transports viewers to another time while evoking contemplation on themes of spirituality and transcendence.
