The Mahabharata is a classic work of Indian literature that has been enjoyed for centuries. The story tells the tale of a great war between two branches of a royal family, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. At the center of the story is the embassy of Krishna to Duryodhana, in which the Pandava prince Yudhishthira sends Krishna to try and negotiate a peaceful solution to the brewing conflict.
However, Duryodhana and his Kaurava brothers refuse to hear reason and insult Krishna in their court, even trying to imprison him. The painting captures this intense moment when Krishna’s divine powers shine through as he effortlessly frees himself from his bonds and leaves the Kauravas cowering before him.
This famous incident serves as a pivotal moment leading up to the great war of Kurukshetra. Whether you’re a fan of Indian mythology or just appreciate a dramatic scene, this canvas painting is sure to captivate.
