EDITORS COMMENTS
Harinaigameshin Brings the Embryo of Jina Mahavira to Queen Trishala" is a captivating folio from a 17th century Kalpasutra, or Book of Sacred Precepts, originating from the rich artistic traditions of India. The mid-17th century artwork, created in opaque watercolor and ink on paper, showcases a significant moment in Jainism, a major religion originating in India. In the image, Harinaigameshin, a divine figure, is depicted in the act of delivering the embryo of Jina Mahavira to Queen Trishala. Mahavira, the 24th Jina in the Jain tradition, is believed to have been born in the 6th century BC. The scene takes place indoors, with the queen lying recline on a raised platform, dressed in a beautiful sari, adorned with intricate jewelry, and surrounded by attendants. A goat, considered sacred in Jainism, stands nearby, its head turned towards the moon, symbolizing the lunar influence on the embryo's development. Harinaigameshin, dressed in royal clothing and wearing a turban, holds the embryo, which is enclosed in a protective covering, in his hands. The solar system, represented by the sun and the crescent moon, can be seen in the background, symbolizing the cosmic significance of this moment. The intricate details, the use of color, and the attention to fashion and apparel of the time make this artwork a stunning representation of the artistic and cultural heritage of South East Asia during the 17th century. This artwork, a testament to the rich artistic and religious traditions of India, is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, providing a window into the past and a connection to the artistic and cultural heritage of the region.
