Indian Miniature
Can you help me remember the symbolism in my Indian Miniature Painting from Rajasthan?
I spent the summer in the state of Rajasthan, India. When I was in Udaipur, I purchased a miniature painting that has a series of animals on it:
A horse/stallion
An elephant
A camel
A peacock
A tiger
A cow
When I purchased it, the artist told me that each animal symbolized something in particular. I wrote it down, but have lost my notebook from my trip.
What I remember is the following — can someone confirm and help me fill in the missing blanks?
Horse = ?
Elephant = ?
Camel = ?
Peacock = Education, or beauty
Tiger = courage
Cow = spirituality/religion
I am giving this as a gift to someone, and would like to remember what all of the items are so I can write it in the card!
Thanks.
horse means energy
elephant means luck
camel means love
….just came back from Udaipur and I am still impressed by this exciting gem of Rajasthan.
Good luck for your friends
