Key Features

The Iconic First Encounter

This evocative chromolithograph captures the pivotal moment from Kālidāsa’s Abhijñānaśākuntalam-when King Duṣyanta first beholds Śakuntalā in the forest hermitage. Śakuntalā, caught mid-gesture and leaning toward a tree stump, embodies modesty, hesitation, and unspoken emotion.

Śakuntalā’s Grace and Vulnerability

Draped in a dark sari with gold borders, Śakuntalā’s posture reflects inner disturbance masked by outward composure. Her slightly averted gaze and tilted body signal the awakening of emotion-love encountered before it is named.

Companions as Witnesses

The two accompanying women heighten the narrative tension. One turns back toward the king, the other stands alert, collectively representing societal awareness, curiosity, and protection. Their presence reinforces the shared feminine experience within epic storytelling.

King Duṣyanta as the Royal Gaze

Standing beneath the spreading tree canopy, Duṣyanta appears composed and regal, yet subtly transformed into an observer rather than a ruler. His stillness contrasts with Śakuntalā’s emotional movement, marking the moment destiny quietly enters human life.
