Tiered Court Scene, c. 1735. Creator: Chitarman II (Indian, c. 1680-?. 1750)
Tiered Court Scene, c. 1735. Emperor Muhammad Shah rekindled an imperial interest in Hinduism that had not been so strong since the time of Akbar, 150 years before. He commissioned this painting that shows the acts of Rama, hero of a Hindu epic, who slays the demon of the golden city of Lanka at the top of the page. In the middle sections, various Hindu deities enjoy music, kite flying, and boating, while at the bottom the Krishna plays Holi with his lover Radha and other palace women. They shoot red-coloured water at one another with plunger guns in celebration of the coming of spring
