EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lava and Kishu engage Lakshmana in battle, 1598" transports viewers to a mythical world of ancient Hindu legends. Created by the talented artist Makra in the late 16th century, this opaque watercolor on paper piece measures 23.1 x 13.4 cm and is housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The artwork depicts an intense battle scene where Lava and Kishu, sons of the revered Hindu god Krishna, are seen engaging Lakshmana in combat. Lakshmana, who is known as Lord Rama's brother, stands valiantly against his opponents amidst a stunning landscape backdrop. The painting showcases intricate details such as battles between cavalry and elephants, arrows flying through the air, and deities summoning their divine powers. The vibrant colors bring life to this mythological clash while highlighting the rich cultural heritage of South Asia. As we delve into Indian mythology through this artwork, it becomes evident that religion plays a significant role in shaping warfare narratives during ancient times. The presence of horses and elephants further emphasizes how animals were integral parts of these historical battles. Makra's masterpiece not only captures our imagination but also serves as a testament to India's deep-rooted traditions and beliefs. It reminds us that art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling across different cultures throughout history.
