EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio from the Bhagavata Purana, an ancient Hindu text chronicling the life and adventures of the deity Krishna, dates back to the 18th century. The scene depicted in this image is one of many narratives from Krishna's life, showcasing his divine connection with animals and his mastery over various forms of transport. In this image, Krishna is depicted riding on the back of a magnificent horse-drawn chariot, surrounded by a group of men and women. The vibrant colors and opaque watercolor techniques used in this artwork bring the scene to life, with the rich reds and greens of the characters' clothing and the golden accents on the chariot and horses standing out against the muted background. The scene takes place in the region of Malwa, in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, which was part of the Hindu kingdom of Hindoostan during the 18th century. Krishna's popularity in this region was significant, as he is revered as an avatar of the god Vishnu and is a central figure in the Vaishnavism branch of Hinduism. The Bhagavata Purana is an epic text that has been passed down through generations, with the earliest known versions dating back to the 10th century. This folio is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of South East Asia and serves as a reminder of the enduring significance of Krishna in Hindu mythology and spirituality.
