Birth of Shakuntala
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Raja Ravi Varma
The Ravi Varma Press Mumbai Bombay c. 1905 Halftone Divided back 13.85x8.90cm Vishvamitra was a revered sage in ancient India; this postcard from one of Ravi Varma's most famous paintings shows how he rejects knowledge of his child by turning away and hiding his gaze with a dramatic gesture. [Original caption] Menaka sent by Indra to distract sage Vishwamitra in his penances, succeeds in her mission and gets a child by him. While going to Indra-lok, she offers the child to Vishwamitra, who feeling penitent for his weakness tries to avoid Menaka and disowns the child. [end] |
