Add a festive touch to your home with the beauty of this exquisitely detailed & stunningly beautiful handmade miniature art made in the style of the Kangra Pahari school.
Kangra painting is the pictorial art of Kangra, named after Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India, a former princely state, which patronized the art. Pahari paintings, as the name suggests, were paintings executed in the hilly regions of India, in the sub-Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh. It is in the development and modification of Pahari paintings, that the Kangra School features. Kangra paintings belong to the school of Pahari paintings that were patronized by the Rajput rulers between the 17th and 19th centuries.
The striking feature of Kangra paintings is the verdant greenery it depicts. The style is naturalistic, and great attention is paid to detail. The Kangra painters employed cool and fresh colors and with the lyrical blending of form and color.
This charming art work belongs to a series narrating the Indian epic the Ramayana. The hero of the story, Rama, accompanied by his consort, Sita, and half-brother, Lakshmana, have embarked on their fourteen-year exile from Ayutthaya, their rightful home. They are shown to wear leaf garments: skirts and hats of leaves, with the stems still attached to the crowns of their foliage caps. The implication being that they abandoned everything of value before beginning their forest exile. They are in audience with sages, hearing their wisdom, knowledge and advise on life in exile.
