The Month of Asadh Kangra School Monsoon Scene Framed Paper Print with Poem by Kalidas

This paper print, The Month of Asadh: Enjoying the Monsoons, is a refined example of late 18th-century Kangra school artistry, preserved in the Bharat Kala Bhavan, Banaras. The scene beautifully captures a romantic moment between a noble couple, set against the dramatic backdrop of a monsoon-lit town. The dark, swelling clouds overhead, the flashes of lightning, and the clustered rooftops evoke the vibrancy of the rainy season. The couple, dressed in elegant garments with subtle detailing, stand in tender conversation near the grand gateway of a palace, embodying the intimate joy of love in the monsoons. The floral border framing the scene adds an extra touch of grace and traditional aesthetic appeal.
Accompanying the artwork is an evocative poem from Ritusamhara by Kalidasa:
"The approaching season of Rain, dear love,
comes like a king in pride of power,
the rain-laden clouds are its rutting war elephants;
the lambent flashes of lightning
serve for its streaming pennons,
and the reverberating thunder
is the rattle of its kettle-drums;
It is hailed by a host of lovers
as the royal cavalcade is acclaimed
by crowds of suppliants."
This framed print seamlessly blends poetic romance and artistic heritage, making it ideal for lovers of classical Indian art and literature.
