About Jallandharnath Flies Over King Padam's Palace By Amardas Bhatti C.1830 Vintage Indian Miniature Art Painting
A fascinating aspect of some of these paintings is that they show a sequence of events happening within a single image, in contrast to most compositions which capture a moment in time. the image below imaginatively portrays a sequence of episodes from the ramcharitmanas of tulsidas (based on valmiki’s ramayana). the focal point is the crossing to lanka, with rama and lakshmana leading an army of monkeys and bears across the sea in preparation for battle. rama and his half-brother lakshmana are depicted four times. firstly, they are shown standing on top of a cliff on the left hand side of the painting puzzling over how they will cross the ocean; secondly, performing a sacrifice; thirdly, crossing the causeway built for them by monkeys and bears; and lastly, in wicked ravana’s kingdom of lanka. the ten-headed, multi-armed demon ravana can be seen looking down at the approaching army from the uppermost terrace of his golden palace. most of the subordinate demons are shown with horns.
