A sky dense with birds arches above the melee. Below, jagged stone ridges washed in mauve, a swirl of limbs, tusks, hooves, and righteous fury erupts in theatrical cadence. Balarama wields his pestle—a white arc of judgment—while Krishna, garbed in celestial yellow, hovers above like a vow made flesh. Between them, enemies tumble: contorted in silks, crushed beneath horses and war-elephants in patterned barding, their defeat painted stitch by stitch in vermilion and ochre.

The jungle watches with impassive silence—alive with airborne parakeets and mute, brooding trees. Each boulder and bush carries ancestral memory, as though the very earth has become archive and arbiter. Turbans unravel. Steads flare nostrils red with panic. And Krishna looks on. He stands both presence and pause, his gaze like a hinge between epochs.

This is not just myth; it is choreography etched in pigment. Every motion, every fold, each plume, each blood-slick hoof reckons with justice shaped by the divine right of action.

Artist Biography

The Harivaṃśa is a monumental Sanskrit epic that serves as an appendix to the Mahābhārata, expanding on Krishna’s divine lineage, cosmic origins, and mythic exploits. Revered as the Harivaṃśa Purāṇa, this ancient text is a cornerstone of Hindu mythology, weaving together genealogical histories, cosmic creation narratives, and esoteric hymns.

Across its three parvas—Harivaṃśa Parva, Viṣṇu Parva, and Bhaviṣya Parva—the text chronicles Krishna’s birth, his pastoral youth in Vrindavan, and his role in shaping the destiny of Dwarka.

Rich in poetic allegory, theological insights, and philosophical depth, the Harivaṃśa predates later Puranic texts like the Viṣṇu Purāṇa and Bhāgavata Purāṇa, making it an invaluable source on Krishna’s early worship, Vedic cosmology, and the evolving tradition of Vaishnavism. The text also presents alternate creation myths, detailed accounts of the Kali Yuga, and hymns to both Shiva and Vishnu, reflecting the synthesis of Vedic and post-Vedic Hindu thought.

A sacred bridge between epic history and divine mythology, the Harivaṃśa continues to illuminate the intricate tapestry of Hinduism’s literary and spiritual heritage.
