EDITORS COMMENTS
Religious Procession: Kartikkeya," showcases a vibrant and intricate depiction of a Hindu deity's procession, believed to originate from the Murshidabad region of Bengal, India. The central figure is Kartikkeya, the god of war and son of Lord Shiva, who is mounted on a peacock, his traditional vahana or vehicle. Surrounding Kartikkeya are an entourage of courtiers, musicians, and attendants, all adorned in rich clothing and carrying various symbols of their occupations. The procession is marked by colorful banners and flags, and the god is carried on a palanquin, a sedan chair borne by palanquin bearers. The painting is executed in opaque watercolor on mica, a traditional technique known as talc painting, which gives the image a unique and shimmering effect. The procession is accompanied by a retinue of animals, including elephants, horses, and a majestic peacock, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The group moves along a road, with the sound of music and the rhythmic clatter of the palanquin bearers' footsteps echoing through the air. This painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia and the intricate details of Hinduism, providing a glimpse into the religious and cultural practices of the past." "Religious Procession: Kartikkeya," c1800, is an unknown masterpiece from the Heritage Images collection, showcasing the beauty and complexity of Hinduism in the 19th century. The painting is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
