Summary

Painting of Razmnama
Artist	Tulsi
Title	Painting of Razmnama
Description	Garuda, Vishnu's eagle, went to Amrita to free his mother Kadru. On his way, he got hungry and caught elephant and tortoise who are the ascetics Vibhavasu and Supratika, who were cursed by sages. As Garuda sat on the tree to rest and eat them, the branch of tree suddenly cracked. Garuda is holding a tree branch, where Balkhilya four others are seen hanging upside down for tapasya (i.e., penance).
Date	17^th century date QS:P571,+1650-00-00T00:00:00Z/7
Notes	Paintings of Razmnama is the Persian translation of one of the great Hindu epics of India, the Mahabharata. The Mughal emperor Akbar took a personal interest in the translation project and invited learned men and scholars to participate. Once complete, the translation was produced in a lavishly illustrated manuscript by his atelier. Three copies were, of which the three-volume Razmnama in the Birla Academy of Art and Culture, Kolkata, is the only copy that is complete with 81 miniatures, bearing the name of the scribe and the date of completion, 1605. It is as a key document for the study of Mughal painting during the beginning of the 17th century. The paintings are of great interest to students of Mughal painting as they combine the finest elements of the Mughal court style with the narrative style of storytelling.
