Jain Miniature Paintings from Western India c6.412

c6.412

There are altogether seven paintings in the scroll, the largest being 4′ × 9″, and the smallest 1′ × 9″. The paintings do not form a continuous series, but are separated by blank spaces which were probably also intended to be filled with paintings, but the idea did not materialise owing to some unforeseen circumstances. As Mr. N. C. Mehta has committed many slips in the description of these paintings, I went through the scroll with Mr. Sarabhai, and with his help was able to identify most of the scenes.
