EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio from the Bhagavata Purana, a sacred Hindu text, depicts the epic march against the monarch Jarasandha of Magadha, as described in the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata. The scene unfolds in the first half of the 17th century, and the creator of this masterpiece remains unknown. The artwork, executed in opaque watercolor ink and gold on paper, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India and Southeast Asia. The image showcases a grand procession of warriors, led by King Lakshmana of Madhya Pradesh, riding on horse-drawn chariots and marching on foot. Three men, each carrying a flag with a distinctive emblem, lead the way, signaling the start of the grand expedition. The animals, including horses and elephants, are intricately detailed, their muscles rippling as they strain under the weight of their riders and the banners. The warriors are armed with bows and arrows, ready for battle against the formidable Jarasandha. The royalty of the era is evident in the ornate banners, the horses adorned with gold and jewels, and the warriors' finely crafted armor. The use of color and the careful attention to detail bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the ancient world of Hinduism and the epic battles that shaped its history. This folio is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of India and Southeast Asia. The March Against Jarasandha is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and the values and beliefs that shaped the region's history.
