EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 16th century print depicts a collection of monstrous creatures reportedly seen beyond the sacred Ganges River in India. The vivid imagery of these mythical beings has been passed down through generations, leaving a rich and fascinating footprint in the annals of Indian history and folk lore. The first creature, with its dog-like head and human body, is believed to be a Barghest or Bhoot-Bhaina, a shape-shifting entity known to haunt the banks of the Ganges. The second creature, with a single eye in the center of its chest, is said to be a Yali, a mythical guardian beast, often depicted in Indian art and architecture. The third creature, with its head positioned below its shoulders, is a Rakshasa, a demonic being known for its strength and cunning. The fourth creature, with multiple eyes, is believed to be a Churel, a vengeful spirit of a woman who died during childbirth, seeking revenge on men. These monstrous beings have been reported by travelers and locals for centuries, adding to the mystique and allure of India's rich cultural heritage. The Ganges River, considered sacred in Hinduism, has long been a source of inspiration for Indian folklore, with its banks teeming with tales of gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures. This print, created in the 1550s, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Indian mythology and the intriguing tales that have been passed down through generations. The vivid colors and intricate details bring these creatures to life, transporting us to a time when the lines between reality and myth were blurred, and the unknown held a certain allure and fascination.
