This charged scene is from the Mahabharata Great Story of the Bharatas, a sacred Hindu epic of ancient India that narrates the great war between two related clans, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The battle scene gains vigor from the forcefully drawn figures as well as the myriad arrows activating the salmon-colored ground.
