EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The submission of Kaliya" a masterpiece from the Basohli region of the Pahari School, dating back to 1700-65. Created with watercolor on paper, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The painting depicts a significant Hindu mythological event known as the submission of Kaliya. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary deity named Kaliya who possesses multiple heads and takes the form of a snake. According to Hindu scriptures, Kaliya had been causing chaos and poisoning the waters of river Yamuna until he was confronted by Lord Krishna. In an act of divine intervention, Krishna subdues Kaliya by dancing upon his many hoods. The vibrant colors and intricate details characteristic of Pahari art are beautifully captured in this image. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring life to every element within the composition - from Krishna's graceful movements to each individual scale on Kaliya's serpentine body. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also reflects deep religious symbolism and cultural significance for Himachal Pradesh in India. Its presence within the Victoria & Albert Museum allows visitors to appreciate its historical value while immersing themselves in ancient Indian mythology.
