EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur and splendor of King Dasaratha's procession as he proceeds to his son Rama's wedding. Dating back to the 17th century, this exquisite folio from the Shangri Ramayana Series (Style II) is a testament to the rich heritage art of India. The image transports us to a bygone era, where we witness a majestic sight unfold before our eyes. The king, accompanied by his retinue, embarks on a journey that symbolizes not only love and union but also religious significance. As Hindu deities and gods are revered in Indian culture, this event holds immense importance. The vibrant colors used in this opaque watercolor and ink on paper masterpiece bring life to every detail - from the regal horses drawing the ornate horse-drawn vehicle to the resplendent attire worn by both men and women participating in this grand procession. As we delve into this photograph, we can almost hear the rhythmic beats of traditional music filling the air as people line up along the road, eager to catch a glimpse of their beloved monarch. It is evident that King Dasaratha's majesty commands respect and admiration from all who witness his presence. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this remarkable piece invites us into an enchanting world where history intertwines with mythology. It serves as a reminder of India's rich cultural tapestry and its enduring devotion towards religion and tradition.
