    Antique Illustrated Indian Manuscript

    India
    17 x 25 cm 5 cm thick
    10 hand drawn illustrations
    Late 19th-Early 20th century

     
    The illustrations of this text would suggest a topic such as the epic literature of India which include the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
     
    The Ramayana is an epic tale in five books. It concerns events at the court of King Dasaratha of Ayodhya. One of his wives wants her son, Bharata, to succeed to the throne in place of the one chosen by the king, Rama. The second part is about the banished Rama who does combat with giants in the forest and slays thousands of demons. The second part also deals with the abduction of Rama's wife, Sita by king Rava?a of Lanka, leading Rama to carry out an expedition to the island to defeat the king in battle and recover his wife.
     
    The Mahabharata is about a family feud in the royal house of the Kauravas, who are the descendants of Bharata. This leads to a bloody battle.
     
    These and other legends and tales have been a source of material for Indian art and literature through the ages.
     
    String bound text. Covers missing. Loose pages. Holes in several pages.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
