"Jumna: A River of History and Beauty in India" The enchanting Yamuna River flows gracefully, offering a breathtaking view of the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra, India. This wood engraving from the 19th century captures the timeless allure of this majestic monument. In front of this architectural wonder stands a camel, adding an element of charm to the already mesmerizing scene. The Yamuna River, also known as Jumna, peacefully meanders alongside, reflecting the ethereal beauty that surrounds it. Delving deeper into Indian mythology, we encounter Krishna Subduing Kaliya - a captivating folio from the Bhagavata Purana series. This artwork depicts Lord Krishna's triumph over the formidable snake demon Kaliya with grace and valor. As dusk settles across the horizon, another picturesque vista unfolds before our eyes. The Taj Mahal reveals its grandeur against a backdrop painted by hues of twilight on the banks of Yamuna (Jumna) river, and is truly a sight to behold. Beyond its cultural significance lies HMS Jumna - part of Royal Navy's fleet that sailed through history with pride and purpose. Nutwell Court in Exeter serves as yet another reminder of Jumna's diverse associations around the world. Pictures from Delhi showcase engravings that depict scenes filled with life and culture; they offer glimpses into everyday existence during different eras along Jumna's shores. However, not all tales are pleasant ones. Infanticide on the Banks reminds us that history carries both light and darkness within its folds. Created by James Grant in 1891, this poignant image sheds light on societal struggles faced during those times. Yet amidst these complexities emerge moments like View of Muttra - created by James Grant as well - which capture serene landscapes along Jumna's course; reminding us that nature can provide solace even amidst turmoil.
