The painting depicts a powerful scene from the epic Mahabharata, specifically the moment on the battlefield of Kurukshetra where Lord Krishna acts as the charioteer (Sarathi) to the warrior Arjuna, poised before the war begins—a moment often associated with the Bhagavad Gita discourse.
The painting is a masterclass in drama and motion. The divine chariot, guided by Krishna, is pulled by four magnificent white horses rearing in action. Krishna, radiant in yellow and adorned with gold, holds the reins, a resolute Arjuna, who is ready with his bow and arrow.
The Bhagwat Geeta is one of the most profound teachings delivered by Lord Krishna himself. The scenery in this art is an eternal imagery of Mahabharat war, and the parallels we can draw from it with our daily lives. Having this on your wall can inspire and motivate you during even the toughest times.
