EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century folio depicts a pivotal moment from the Bhagavata Purana, an ancient Hindu text recounting the life and adventures of Lord Krishna. In this scene, Krishna, dressed in a yellow dhoti and adorned with sacred marks on his forehead, receives the sacred thread from his preceptor, the sage Sandipani. Sandipani's son, Shikhandi, stands behind Krishna, his expression one of pride and approval. The scene is rendered in opaque watercolor on paper, with intricate details that bring the characters to life. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw the viewer in, transporting them to the rich cultural heritage of ancient India. The setting is likely the Malwa region of central India, in the present-day state of Madhya Pradesh. Krishna's return to his guru after completing his studies marks an important milestone in his life, signifying his commitment to his spiritual education and his adherence to the Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism. The narrative unfolds in a panoramic format, with the figures arranged in a group, adding to the sense of community and tradition. This beautiful work of art, created in the 1640s, is a testament to the enduring power of Hindu mythology and the artistic traditions of South East Asia. It is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
