Description | This highly colourful composition characteristic of the Jodhpur style in the early 19th century Rajasthan. It shows a host of gods, celestial beings, sages, courtiers, noblemen, soldiers along with Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughana at Rama's coronation after his return from the fourteen years long exile. Seated on a golden throne with a chattra are Rama and Sita. Sage Vashishtha is applying 'tilak' on Rama's forehead. Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna are seen standing behind the golden throne. Opposite Rama are seated other sages and purohitas - priests. The Holy Trinity, Vishnu on Garuda, Shiva and Brahma, along with Ganesha, and several other gods and celestial beings are present in the ceremony. Just below them stand various rulers and courtiers. Nobles and commoners all stand to witness and partake in the festivities associated with the coronation of Rama on the throne of Ayodhya. In the foreground the artist has rendered on the main entrance gate of the palace a 'naubat-khana', typical of medieval Indian architecture where seated musicians are playing musical instruments to mark this festive occasion. On both sides of the palace gate are standing in a row - elephants with their mahouts and horses with their riders. Brilliance of colours, designing patterns, costume and facial features are other merits of this Jodhpur painting. |
