Explanation:

Rama Vanquishing the Pride of the Ocean: This is a Puranic (ancient mythological stories) theme painted by Raja Ravi Varma. He was one of the first Indian painters to use oil paint and master the art of lithographic reproduction for mythological subject.

Journey's End: Made by Abanindranath Tagore (1871–1951) in 1913, this painting is in watercolour. Abanindranath Tagore was seen as a father figure of nationalist and modernism of art in India. He revived certain aspects of Indian and oriental traditions of paintings in terms of themes, style and techniques, and invented the wash painting technique. The wash technique yields a soft, misty and impressionistic landscape. This quality of hazy and atmospheric effects of the wash are utilised to be suggestive or evocative of an end of a life. In this painting, a collapsed camel is shown in red background of dusk and in that sense it personifies the end of a journey through the end of a day.

Shiva and sati is a beautiful painting by Nandlal Bose. It shows a mythological event of Lord Shiva and his wife Sati ( Parvati). This is a dramatic depiction on offset paper using yellow, brown, violet, and red colours in various shades and tones. In the background of the picture, the light and dark combination of brown and yellow colours have been used to show the sky which goes to merge with earth’s surface looking undulating shape through violet, brown and white colours. In the center of the picture, lord shiva and sati have been depicted prominently in the sad mood. Shiva sits looking at sati’s faded face helplessly and stretching both arms to support the body of Sati which is lying on his left knee in unconscious state wearing necklaces, earings, armlets, bracelets and light red colour saree. An aura of light yellow colour has been shown behind Shiva’s head. His forehead looks bright and his hair are tied in a bun on top. He is wearing necklace and a snake around his neck.The torso of Lord Shiva is looking a little bulky. Foreground of the painting looks like a blurry vision.

Meghdoot: The Meghdoot painting made by Ram Gopal Vijay Vargiya of Bengal school is taken from “Abhigyan Shakuntalam” and is based on the lyrical poem ‘Meghdoot’ written by Kalidas. Meghdoot is a story of “Yaksha” who lives in beautiful mythical city of Alka in the Himalayas. He was exiled by his master “Kuber” for one year for ignoring his duties. The poem is set about the eight months after the exile when the “Yaksha” yearning for his beloved convinces a passing cloud to become the messenger and carry his message to his beloved wife awaiting his return.
