Lot Notes

This folio from the Razmnama illustrates a significant episode during the final battle of the Mahabharata. Shalya was the ruler of Madra, a formidable and invincible warrior, making him a desirable ally. On hearing of the impending battle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, he intended to join his nephews the Pandavas, to fight for good. But Duryodhana, the leader of the evil Kauravas, pretended to be the Pandavas and tricked Shalya into joining their side. To mend his predicament, Shalya promised Yudhisthira to help the Pandava brothers by demoralizing the Kauravas during the battle. But eventually he was killed by a spear. This painting shows a warrior (at left) holding the spear, and is likely the moment before Shalya's death.
