About Indian Miniature Art The Ordeal by Liquor Chamba Style
This scene of a famous episode is painted in a distinctive style that can be associated with Chamba or Nurpur in the last quarter of the seventeenth century. It is interesting to note that two of the Chamba examples cited, the Nurpur example and the present painting all concern liquor. In the two Chamba examples they depict a scene of abstinence in which the Raja Chattar Singh is forsaking alcohol - he empties a decanter of wine in a very deliberate gesture suggested by Goswamy and Fischer to be associated with a vow the raja has taken. In the present work and the Nurpur example the scene concerns an excess of alcohol. The episode is known as the "ordeal by liquor" and refers to an episode during Jahangir's tour of the country around Nurpur in 1621 which appears in the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri. Chamba paintings are quite similar in appearance to Mughal style of paintings, with strong influences of Deccan and Gujarat style also. The Chamba paintings are very authentic and informative social documents of the history of those times. The Chamba paintings also derived inspiration from natural surroundings and are remarkable in their composition. About the Posters
