by Ranjha. From the Nala Damayanti series
Kangra School. Late 18th century AD
The clever gods have decided to entrap Nala. They have halted and asked Nala to stop on his way to Kundinapura. Indra, the cleverest of them all, asks Nala to be the Gods' emmisary and plead their respective cause with Damayanti. Nala stands with folded hands. He has no choice, but to their bidding.
Ranjha shows the four gods: Indra, Yama, Agni, and Varun. The courtiers look helplessly on as Nala falls for the plot conspired by the Gods. In the distance Kundinapura hangs like a distant dream.
Many a times, we have to do things which might be against our wish or plans. But the belief in destiny is a strong one in India. Even in the West, it is said, " Man proposes, God disposes". So is life.
