EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Burning of Lanka, 1913 - A Captivating Illustration from Hindu Mythology". This print showcases the iconic scene of the "Burning of Lanka" depicted in a stunning illustration by K Venkatappa. Created in 1913 for the first edition of "Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists" by Sister Nivedita and Ananda Coomaraswamy, this artwork beautifully captures an epic moment from ancient Indian mythology. In this dramatic depiction, Hanuman, the revered deity with his extraordinary powers, sets ablaze the island city of Lanka using his mighty tail. The inferno was initially ignited by Ravana, the demon-king who had kidnapped Lord Rama's wife Sita. As flames engulfed Lanka, Hanuman took it upon himself to punish Ravana for his misdeeds. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this legendary tale from Ramayana literature. The artist skillfully portrays Hanuman as an awe-inspiring vanara (ape-like creature) amidst billowing smoke and raging fire. This visual masterpiece not only represents religious symbolism but also serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage. Preserved in a private collection today, this early 20th-century artwork continues to captivate viewers with its artistic brilliance and mythological significance. It stands as a reminder of how art can immortalize timeless stories while connecting us to our historical roots.
