About the Item
Saikat Patra - Untitled - 15 x 11 inches (unframed size)
Watercolour on paper
Style : Saikat Patra highly talented water colorist from Bengal.
In this series of 10 water colour, Saikat traces few game changing moments in India. From invasion / war to coronation, from spirituality to education Saikat beautifully traces few important moments from Historical India.
In order of the series of the events :
a) Buddha with Angulimalla : ( 600 – 400 BC )
When Buddha's teaching resonated with the people and the ruthless serial killer redeemed and converted himself to follow the principle of Buddhism.
b) Ashoka surveying the Sarnath Pillar : (400 – 200 BC)
The Mauryan empire reached the peak of its extent under the rule of Ashoka(reign : 273-232 BCE).Here King Ashoka is scene looking at the Lion Capital of Ashoka, a sculpture of four Asiatic Lions; a graphic representation of which was adopted as the official Emblem of India in 1950.
c) Questions of Milinda : (200 – 100 BC)
Depicts the Questions of Milinda, a Buddhist text which record a dialogue Buddhist Sage Nagasena and the Indo - Greek King Menander who is set to have converted after meeting Sage Nagasina.
d) The Kushan Kings encouraged all religions :
One of the most interesting aspects of the Kushan empire is its spirit religious toleration. A broad pantheon of dieties on Kushan coins indicates that the empire was characterized by tremendous religious toleration. We find on Kushan coins, Greek Gods such as Helios and Salene, Iranian gods such as Nana, Mithra , Mao and Athsho, Hindu gods such as Shiva and Kartikeya, the
Zoroastrian deity Ahura Mazda and the Buddha. The drawings shown above are also powerful evidence of the syncretic nature of many of the deities which were worshipped from different traditions.
e) Gupta Empire : India’s Golden Age
Kalidasa : ( 5th century AD ) Poet and playwright
Vatsyayana : ( 3rd - 6th century AD) Author of the Kama Sutra
Aryabhata : ( 5th century AD ) Mathematician, astronomer
The peace and prosperity created under the leadership of the Guptas enabled the pursuit of scientific and artistic endeavours. This period was marked by extensive inventions and discoveries in science & technology, engineering, art, literature, mathematics, astronomy, religion, and philosophy that crystallized the elements of what is known as the Golden Age of India.
f) Shiva as a dancing Nataraja, Badami : ( 600 – 750 AD )
The period of Badami Chalukyas the first cave portrays the Tandava-dancing Shiva as Nataraja, 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, has 18 arms in a form that expresses the dance positions arranged in a geometric pattern. While most of the arms express mudras (symbolic hand gestures), some of the arms hold objects such as drums, a trident and an axe; some also have serpents coiled around them. Shiva has his son Ganesha and the bull Nandi by his side.
g) Prithviraj Chauhan being taken captive by Mohammed Ghor in 1192 : ( 1050 – 1200 AD )
After defeating the first time at the Battle of Tarain, Muhammad Ghor returned to Ghazna and made preparations to avenge his defeat to defeat the Chauhans in the second battle of Tarain in 1192. Prithviraj himself tried to escape on a horse, but was pursued and caught. Subsequently, Muhammad of Ghor captured Ajmer after killing several thousand defenders, enslaved many more, and destroyed the city's.
Nalanda laid waste by Bakhtiyar Khalji, 1193 AD : (1200 – 1300 AD )
Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji was a Turkic military general under Qutub-ud-din Aibak.
The University of Nalanda was ransacked, its library torched and most of its inhabitants killed by an army under Bakhtiyar Khalji in c. 1200 AD. It is perhaps a coincidence worth nothing that while these Indian institutions of learning were being destroyed, European institutions such as Oxford andCambridge were being set up.
h) The Qutub Minar with the Iron Pillar in the backdrop : ( 1200 – 1300 AD )
The Qutub Minar which is named after Qutb-ud-din Aibak was completed by Sultan Iltutmish in 1220. Its ground storey was built over the ruins of the Lal Kot, the citadel of Delhi. An inscription in Persian at the mosque's inner eastern gateway states that material used in its construction was salvaged from the demolition of twenty-seven of
Delhi's Hindu and Jain temples. Pillars from these demolished temples were used
in the mosque, with their iconography intact. The nearby Iron Pillar which predates the Islamic Minar and still bears its Brahmic Inscriptions which is said to have been fashioned at the time of Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375–413 AD) of the Gupta Empire, is originally said to have been installed in Udayagiri ( near Bhopal ) and brought to Delhi by subsequent rulers.
i) Akbar in his Ibadat Khana, 1580 AD : (1600 – 1700 AD )
In 1526, the Mughal Empire in India was established by Babur who was also deeply interested in religious and philosophical matters and built the Ibadat Khana as a religious debating house. He encouraged Hindus, Roman Catholics, Zoroastrians, Jains and even atheists to participate in these debates. Akbar’s interaction with various religious theologians had convinced him that despite their differences, all religions had several good practices.
j) Shivaji’s coronation with gold hons in 1674 : (1700 – 1800 AD )
The Maratha empire formally existed from 1674 with the coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji who was crowned king of the Marathas in a lavish ceremony at Raigad on 6 June 1674. Pandit Gaga Bhatt officiated, holding a gold vessel filled with the seven sacred waters of the rivers Yamuna, Indus, Ganges, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri over Shivaji's head and chanted the coronation mantras. After the ablution, Shivaji bowed before his mother, Jijabai and touched her feet. Nearly fifty thousand people gathered at Raigad for the ceremonies. Shivaji was bestowed with the sacred thread , with the Vedas and was bathed in an “abhisheka”. Shivaji was entitled Chhatrapati ( Lord of the Kshatriyas ). It is said that as part of the coronation rituals, Shivaji was showered by his ministers with hundreds of Hons ( gold coins) which were poured the over the king's body as he sat on his throne.
