About the piece
This striking work from the 'Shangri' Ramayana sequence represents the refined Pahari painting style of the Kulu region in Northern India. The scene depicts the royal priest Shatananda confirming the marriages of the princesses of Mithila to the sons of King Dasharatha. Characterized by its masterful use of flat, saturated color—most notably the brilliant yellow background—and its stylized, rhythmic rendering of figures and nature, this piece offers a sophisticated example of Indian miniature art from the early 18th century.
