About the Item

19th Century Indian Miniature Painting – Kartikeya on Peacock (Vahana), Hand-Painted. A vibrant and detailed miniature painting showcasing Lord Kartikeya, the Hindu god of war and son of Shiva and Parvati, majestically mounted on his divine peacock vahana (vehicle). Depicted with multiple arms and adorned with regal jewelry and a golden crown, Kartikeya holds a spear (vel), symbolizing divine power and victory over evil. Painted in traditional natural pigments on paper, this piece exemplifies the elegant clarity and symbolism of Indian miniature art. The peacock—beautifully rendered with iridescent tail feathers—adds grace and grandeur to the composition.
