Description | Hanuman who abounds in immense knowledge, unlimited virtue, incomparable might, wind's pace and earth's firmness is not only the widest known god but in the entire Hindu pantheon also the most widely worshipped divinity. Hanuman, the emissary of Lord Rama, is known by many names such as Mahavira, Mahabali, Sankatmochan, Maruti, Ramaduta and Bajrangbali. Uttering his name, considered to have mystic powers of a mantra, dispels evil and commemorating it brings success in examinations, politics, business, sports, family life and otherworldly matters. He is believed to undo the adverse influence of unfavourable stars. This highly powerful image of the 'Ramabhakta', Hanuman carrying Mount Dron is a beautiful depiction of the valorous act by the Monkey god. In this painting, he is depicted carrying Mount Dron, one of the most wondrous acts that he accomplished for his Lord Rama. Hit by Meghanatha's celestial weapon, Lakshmana, the younger brother of Rama, was wounded and had fallen unconscious. The herb he could be revived with was available only on Mount Dron in the far north. Hanuman went to fetch the herb but was unable to identify it. He hence uprooted the entire mountain and brought it to Rama's camp in Lanka. In most of the Hanuman paintings and sculptures, his tail has been usually projected with prominence. In the legends associated with Hanuman, he is said to have performed most of his valorous deeds including the burning of Lanka with his tail. Hanuman could expand it to any length, make it tough and put into it any volume of weight. Here in the painting extra toughness and length gave to Hanuman's tail seem to indicate that with its weight and length Hanuman has sought to balance the mountain's weight carried opposite to it while flying. The jewellery - golden girdle, anklets, armbands and large earrings are adding features to the majestic personality of Hanuman. The contrast of green and orange colours is typical of Raghogarh painting from Central India. The painting has an inscription. |
