The famed Mahabharata epic climaxes upon the Kurusetra battlefield, where the Pandawa brothers confront their evil cousins, the Korawas. War became inevitable, as accumulated supernatural powers escalated the fervor. Krishna, the most beloved figure in Hinduism, fought for the Pandawas, leading Arjuna's chariot into battle. Wayan Suparta tells the story in the classic Kamasan style on blacu cloth; the flat images do not strive for space or perspective. Powdered pere (mountain stone) provides some of the colors.
