Family workshop of Nainsukh of Guler |
| Description |
English: Devi Diagram of Pandit Seu's Family. Pahari, from the family workshop of Nainsukh of Guler.
Most probably this is the representation of the personal deity (devi) of the Seu family. The fifteen arms that she is shown with all have their meaning. Close to her open hands, within roughly drawn circles, we found names of the hill states and sikh chieftains. In every likelihood members of the Seu family had worked in, or for, them. Above the head we found name "Shri Guler", which is appropriate, because family belonged originally to the state of Guler. Thinly laid opaque watercolor on paper. Isolated folio, c. 1780. Present whereabouts unknown |
| Date | circa 1780 |
