I’ve not come across a more beautiful and enthralling illustration of MAHABHARTA than this.Characters look real n very INDIAN( u’ll agree too).

Here are 16 pics painted by Giampaolo Tomasseti,member of Int’l academy of Vedic science.

(1/6)

2/6 Scenes in sequence — Abhimanyu was trapped inside Chakravyuha Mata Kunti asks Arjuna to share his “prize” I do not recognise the 3rd pic That crucial moment when Karna’s chariot ws stuck in the mud.

3/6 Scenes in sequence—Arjuna expresses his apprehensions ro Krishna a defeated Yudhishtra & humiliated Panchali being consoled by Krishna I don’t recognise this pic,prolly it’s Arjuna with his mother Kunti Bhima’s encounter with Hanuman(loved his expressions).

4/6 Scenes in sequence—Krishna meets Narada (wanna believe he hd a jet pack)happier days Pandavas and Krishna, Arjuna shoots arrows at his grandfather Bheeshma, last bt not the least the painter himself.

5/6 Notes: Till very recently I used to mistake battle formation PADMAVYUHA to be same as CHAKRAVYUHA. Now I knw there r many types of Vyuha (formations), will post a link in the tweet below. Pic 1: Padma Vyuha, Pic 2 & 3 ChakraVyuha.

6/6 Here’s an article frm http://Mahabhartaresearch.com , which describes diff types of battle formations frm Mahabharta. Worth reading!!! http://mahabharata-research.com/military%20academy/vyuhas%20-%20the%20strategic%20formations.html

I hv bn brainstorming snippets of Mahabharta with some of my frens since last few days. Sometimes I feel every page of Mahabharta (original version written by Rishi Vyas) can produce tons of research material.

Forgot to add: I stumbled upon the above pics when one of my frens shared a FB link where @BabaEinsteindev hd posted these pics.

Since I mentioned jet packs on Narada Muni, I thot I shld show the audience here this video by @PraveenMohanET. Its abt a carving in #Ellora temple, where RAVANA has a Jetpack strapped on his back. Believe it or not!!! Here’s the video>>>
