King Sal's Enchanting Encounter with Kala Yavana - A Glimpse into 16th Century India
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant era of 16th century India, where King Sal embarks on a momentous visit to Kala Yavana. This exquisite folio from the Harivamsa (Legend of Hari) manuscript, created around 1590-95, showcases the rich heritage artistry of Indian miniatures. The scene unfolds within a majestic bedchamber adorned with opulent golden hues. King Sal, resplendent in his royal attire, is seen engaging in an extraordinary meeting with Kala Yavana – a mysterious figure floating above the ground. The whimsical sight of Kala Yavana flying adds an element of fantasy and intrigue to this remarkable painting. As attendants stand by as loyal servants, they present King Sal with intriguing gifts wrapped in gold-colored wrappings. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and wonder as these presents symbolize not only material wealth but also spiritual significance. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of Hinduism and its religious undertones through its portrayal of Krishna or Hari. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during the Mughal period in Hindoostan (India). Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this rare gem allows us to delve into history and witness an unusual encounter between two powerful figures. Through this image, we are reminded that even centuries later
