                         Arjun Detach from War

This is the painting delineated in 1930 by Sarada Charan Ukil, an artist of Bengal School of Art, using rhythmic lines of black colour on white paper. Normally, these lines produce an effect just like a painting as oil on canvas. The theme of this painting has been taken from Mahabharat when, Arjun detaches from war in the battle of Kurukshetra to see all his relatives and Gurus in front of his target. To solve his doubts Lord Krishna stood in front of him and appeared his Vishwarupa. The placid form of Lord Krishna is praise worthy, his four arms holding Sudarsana Chakra, Shankh and Lotus while one right hand is kept on griddle side. Arjun is sitting on the chariot keeping his both hands as begging or praying in front of Lord Krishna. Cloudy atmosphere or background is seen around both objects. This is an excellent painting (drawing) which is kept in personal collection of the artist.
