Key Features

A Moment of Destiny in the Forest

This poignant chromolithograph captures the dramatic moment following the birth of Shakuntala, daughter of sage Vishwamitra and the celestial apsara Menaka. Bound by his ascetic vows and spiritual discipline, Vishwamitra turns away, leaving the newborn child in the forest. Menaka, torn between divine duty and maternal love, prepares to depart as destiny guides the infant toward a different path.

The child would later be discovered and raised by sage Kanva, growing into the legendary Shakuntala of the Mahabharata-wife of King Dushyanta and mother of Bharata, after whom India (Bharat) is named.

Symbolism & Narrative Elements

  • Vishwamitra: Renunciation, tapas (austerity), spiritual resolve

  • Menaka: Celestial beauty, divine intervention, maternal tenderness

  • Infant Shakuntala: Destiny, innocence, future lineage

  • Forest setting: Place of transformation and fate

  • Lotus pond & swans: Purity and divine guardianship
