Old 'pat'painting from Puri, Orissa. Collected Puri, 1981. Pigment on paper, made for pilgrims attending the annual procession of the Lord Jaganath from the Jaganath Temple. The figures represent Jaganath, Subhadra and Balbhadra. The gods are brought out each year drawn on massive chariots. The English word Juggernaut derives from Jaganath, from the unstoppable movement of the chariots through the crowds of pilgrims.
A$300
