hastinpura

In this artwork. the Pandava brothers come to Hastinapur after the death of their father, much to the chagrin of Duryodhana. Out of the curiosity and love, all the citizens gather. When the five brothers, enter the city triumphantly with their mother Kunti Devi, accompanied by rishis and great sages.

The composition of this painting shows the frontal view of the crowds that have gathered to greet them and symbolises the entrance of the noble characters into the epic tale, emphasising their presence into the city as well as into the plot of the Mahabharata.
