Summary
[edit]Description |
This complex composition illustrates multiple juxtaposed narratives. Smoke rises from the funerary pyre of the monkey king Vali, who was murdered by his brotherand rival Sugriva, with the help of Rama. Monkeys throw wood on the fire and his many widows stand in mourning. At the upper left, Sugriva approaches Rama, who affirms his installation as king of the monkeys. Rama is shown in a cave, as he vowed not to enter a city during his forced exile, which was to last fourteen years. His wilderness existence is further emphasized by the sages shown sitting in front of thatched huts in the center background. The narrative continues in the scene set within the mountains, where Sugriva, Hanuman, Lakshmana, and the monkey army (but not Rama) return to their vast and impenetrable golden capital to coronate the new king. This folio is a masterpiece of the Kangra school, multidimensional in its narrative content and having a subtle chromatic palette with finely graded tonalities punctuated by touches of strong color. |
