A procession carved in pigment and breathless motion: the sovereign Dasaratha, cloaked in stippled vermilion and striped saffron, rides beneath a parasol carved from myth. His chariot, lacquered like split pomegranate skin and lined with sinuous vine motifs, rolls over a saffron field that pulses with ceremonial heat.

Each attendant figure moves as if held mid-verse in a poem of epic measure. Warhorses rear beneath banners the shade of smelted turmeric; archers balance mid-stride like hymns loosed from string. A conch is raised, not blown, yet its sound stirs your ribs.

The yellow sky doesn’t illuminate, it records. Patterns flicker, inked onto garments like coded blessings. This is not a battle march, but a betrothal liturgy; not conquest, but convergence. Shields flower, weapons bloom. Even the hooves seem to chant.

And somewhere, beyond frame, the bride waits like a truth still unsaid. And the print listens. Forever.

Origin Story

The Bahu Masters were anonymous court painters active at Bahu, near Jammu in India's Pahari hills, from 1680 to 1720. They are celebrated for shaping the Shangri Ramayana, a sweeping manuscript retelling of Rama and Sita rendered in stylized color and gold.

Historians distinguish two hands: the First Bahu Master, who omitted horizons so monochrome grounds could blaze, building decorative architecture from thick shell-lime white and pricked gold; and the Second, who shared his palette but composed with tighter, more deliberate structure.

Together they forged a signature world of robust yellow backdrops and stylized fields of color, folios now held in institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Their Ramayana endures as a vivid record of Pahari painting's courtly imagination.

How to Hang your Artwork

1. D-rings (most secure)

Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.

2. Straight onto screws

Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
