EDITORS COMMENTS
Shiva's Family on the March (image 1 of 6), c1800" is an exquisite 19th century opaque watercolor and gold on paper painting, hailing from the Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh in North India. The image captures a moment in the lives of the Hindu deities Shiva and Parvati, along with their children Ganesha, Karttikeya, and their mounts, Nandi for Shiva and a rat for Ganesha. The family is depicted on a mountainside, with Shiva in a powerful posture, holding a trident, while Parvati gracefully descends the slope, her sari billowing in the wind. Their children, Ganesha and Karttikeya, ride on their respective mounts, with Ganesha's attendant, Mohini, helping him along. In the background, the majestic Mount Kailash, the abode of Shiva, can be seen. This painting is a beautiful representation of Hindu mythology and the rich artistic heritage of India. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and the use of gold add to the grandeur of the image. The painting is reminiscent of the Hindu belief in the unity of the divine family and their journey through life. The painting is a testament to the artistic traditions of South East Asia and is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or religious art. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This painting is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of India and the importance of preserving and celebrating it.
