The Babies Are Exchanged

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 17th-century Indian artwork that depicts a significant moment in Hindu mythology. In this exquisite print, created with opaque watercolors on paper, the Indian School artist skillfully portrays Vasudev's daring act of switching babies. The scene unfolds as Vasudev gently places baby Krishna next to his sleeping foster mother, Yasoda. With great courage and stealth, he carries her own child across the Jamna river to lay him beside his biological mother, Devaki. This divine exchange symbolizes the protection of Krishna from the evil King Kamsa who sought to kill him. The painting showcases intricate details of mythological animals and deities within a serene landscape. The flowing river adds an ethereal touch while emphasizing the significance of this sacred act. This masterpiece belongs to the Edwin Binney 3rd Collection at San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. It offers viewers a glimpse into South Asian religious beliefs and legends through its rich symbolism and vibrant colors. "The Babies Are Exchanged" invites us to explore ancient Indian myths and immerse ourselves in their profound spiritual teachings. Through this artwork, we witness not only an extraordinary tale but also gain insight into Hinduism's reverence for devotion, sacrifice, and divine intervention.
