About the Artwork +


This painting depicts one of the most famous mythological scenes – the Ravana vadha. Here shri ram is depicted killing Ravana with his bow and arrow. He has shifted the weight of his body back, which suggests that he is just about to shoot the arrow.

Ravana is depicted dark-skinned, and unlike the traditional ten faced Ravana, there is one human face and nine mushrooms like projections from his head suggesting the same. The painting is made in typical Apabhramsa style with red background.

The assamese manuscript paintings have been a vibrant form of painting and were given a definite shape during the bhakti movement by saint sankaradeva in the 15th century.
Over 150 illustrated manuscripts have been discovered in Assam till date. The manuscript paintings that we see today have a stylistic amalgamation of the rajasthani and mughal miniature art. The different styles of Assamese Manuscript Painting Tradition are Sattriya, Gadgayan, Darrangi and the Tai style. The manuscript paintings consist of religious illustrations from the hindu mythology. However, there are secular manuscripts as well, such as the buranjis, or the manuscripts on chronicles of kings. The natural colours red, yellow, blue, white and black are used in the paintings. Traditionally these were drawn on the bark of agar (sanchipat), hand made paper pulp (tulapat), wooden plate and on muga clothes.

Our Assamese Manuscript painting artist Mridu Moucham Bora has been associated with the different art and cultural traditions of Assam, such as manuscript painting, mask making, wood carving, terracotta, etc. He has written extensively on manuscript conservation as well. He is one of the only living artists to have illustrated five manuscripts in sankari painting tradition. He uses the traditional and folk elements in his paintings, bringing them back from the verge of extinction.

Assamese Scroll


Assamese scrolls are a traditional form of art from the northeastern state of Assam, India. These scrolls are distinguished by their vibrant storytelling and intricate designs, which depict a rich tapestry of Assamese culture, history, and mythology. Crafted on various materials such as cloth, paper, or palm leaves, these scrolls serve as both artistic expressions and historical documents, capturing the essence of Assamese life and traditions through their detailed illustrations and narratives. Traditional Assamese scrolls often feature a combination of textual and visual elements, with verses written in Assamese script accompanying the illustrations. This unique style not only enhances the visual appeal of the scrolls but also serves to convey complex narratives and themes effectively. History The origins of Assamese scroll art can be traced back to the medieval period when the practice was primarily used as a medium for storytelling and religious teachings. Traditionally, scrolls were created by artisans in Assam to illustrate important events, deities, and mythological tales. This art form flourished under the patronage of the Ahom dynasty, which ruled Assam from the 13th to the 19th century. Scrolls were often used in rituals and festivals, and their creation involved a blend of local artistic techniques and influences from neighboring regions. Materials and Methods Assamese scrolls are traditionally created using materials such as cloth, paper, or palm leaves. The process begins with preparing the base material, which is then coated with a layer of natural adhesive to provide a smooth surface for painting. Artists use natural dyes and pigments derived from plants and minerals to create vibrant colors. The illustrations are meticulously painted using fine brushes, with attention to detail and accuracy. The scrolls are often finished with a protective layer of varnish to preserve the artwork and enhance its durability. Significance Assamese scrolls hold significant cultural and historical value as they serve as visual chronicles of Assamese heritage and traditions. They are not only artistic creations but also educational tools that offer insights into the region's history, mythology, and daily life. The preservation of this art form is crucial for maintaining the cultural identity of Assam and ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from these historical artifacts. Through their vibrant depictions and intricate designs, Assamese scrolls continue to celebrate and preserve the rich cultural tapestry of Assam. FAQs Can Assamese scrolls be customized or commissioned? Yes, Assamese scrolls can be customized or commissioned to include specific themes, colors, or designs based on individual preferences.
