The Indian miniature paintings have always piqued global interest. This time, Delhi’s National Museum has
lent 101 such paintings from its collection to the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, for a month long
exhibition. Called “Ram Katha”, the collection chronologically captures the story of the Ramayana.
The paintings done between the 17th and 19th century by artists from various schools of art in India, are
themed on Lord Ram’s life. “The Ramayana, composed by Valmiki in Sanskrit is believed to be the first
known narrative of Indian literature. The paintings based on Ram Katha come from north, central and the east
of India,” says Vijay Kumar Mathur, the curator of the exhibition. It took him four months to curate the
display from the museum’s collection of 500 odd miniature paintings depicting the Ramayana.
The exhibits represent a matured movement in miniature art wherein the spirit of Ramayana has been
researched upon and visualized in colours. “While this will be a treat for Indian spectators in Australia, it will also be a special way to introduce Indian culture among the Australian citizens,” says Mathur. Starting on
May 22, the exhibition will kick off the Festival of India in Australia. All major styles of pahari paintings
(Basholi, Chamba, Kangra and Bilaspur) are on display, while Rajasthani Styles include Mewar, Bundi,
Jaipur, Bikaner and Deogarh. There are representations from central Indian styles of Malwa, Orchha, Datia
and Rahogarh, besides specimens of Mughal style from Bundelkhand, Deccani and Bijapur and classical folk
styles of Kalighat are also on display. Most of these styles originated between the 15th and 19th century. Some
of the noteworthy works include The Portrait of Ram, (Basholi style, Pahari, 1730); Ram breaks Shiva’s bow
in the court of King Janaka (Provincial Mughal style, Orchha, Bundelkhand, early 17th century); Wedding of
Ram and Sita (Mandi style, mid 18th century); Ram, Lakshman and the golden deer (Kalighat style, Bengal,
late 19th century); and Hanuman with Dronagiri mountain (Rahogarh style, Central India, late 18th century).
The “Ram Katha” exhibition was first held at the National Museum in 2013. The same year it travelled to the
Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels, where it was on display for six months.
