About the piece

This exquisite painting from the Kangra school illustrates a poetic moment from Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda. The work showcases the characteristic delicate lines and lush, symbolic landscapes of the Pahari tradition, featuring a rich palette of ochre, emerald, and vermilion. The intricate depiction of individual leaves, blossoms, and the serene lotus pond creates a dense, immersive environment typical of the Lambagraon series.
