    The Month Of Agahana - Kangra Miniature
    The Month Of Agahana

    This painting illustrates the early winter month of agahana(Nov.-Dec.), when the sky is clear and the swans migrate from the mountains to the plains. The lovers are standing on the terrace overlooking a lake in which water birds are disporting. A hamlet nestles on the top of a hill reminding one of the Kangra Valley and its charming villages. In the sky is a lflight of swans soaruing into the sky. The painting illustra tes the follwing poem of renowned Hindi poet Keshavdas :

    Of all the months to god Agahana is most dear .
    This is the month for happiness and salvation of the soul.
    The river banks are covered with flowers
    And joyous notes of swans fill the air.
    The days are neither cold nor hot,
    How lucky to be together my love !
    Do not,therefore, leave me alone in Agahana,
    This lovely month of the year.
