EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th or 19th century watercolor and gold on paper depicts the legendary moment when Ravana, the demon king of Lanka from the Hindu epic Ramayana, receives a boon from the god Shiva. The scene unfolds on a hillside, with Shiva seated on a majestic Nandi, the sacred bull, surrounded by his attendants. Ravana, shown as a many-armed and many-limbed figure, bows deeply before the deity, his arms raised in supplication. Shiva, in turn, places his hand on Ravana's head, granting him the boon of invulnerability to celestial weapons, except for the divine arrow of Rama, the prince of Ayodhya. This artwork, most likely originating from the Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh in north India or Southeast Asia, showcases the rich heritage of Hindu art and mythology. The use of opaque watercolor and gold on paper adds to the intricacy and grandeur of the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art. The concept of Ravana receiving a boon from Shiva is a popular theme in Hindu literature and continues to captivate audiences with its intriguing narrative of power, divine intervention, and the complexities of good and evil.
