Description

Indradyumna seated in a carriage. He is shown with a golden crown on his head and seated with one knee raised on the back of an ornate carriage, decorated with tassels and gold. He holds a string of beads in his right hand and rests his left arm against the back of the carriage. He wears a pink dhoti and has a floral garland around his neck. Behind him rides an attendant figure that holds an umbrella over his head. The carriage is pulled by two black horses and a driver sits on the shafts of the carriage and holds the reins and a whip. Both attendant figures are crowned and wear dhoti’s and shawls. Indradyumna is shown larger than the attendant figures. In the far distance of the painting are shown hills. The painting is surrounded by a black border.

Painted in Patna, Bihar, India

Curator's comments

According to some Hindu literature, Indradyumna was rescued by Visnu after he was cursed to take the form of an elephant and was attacked by a crocodile. Once Visnu rescued him from the crocodile, the curse was broke and Indradyumna returned to his normal form.
