The Bharata Yuddha is the great battle between the Pandawa and Korawa families in the Mahabharata epic.The painting depicts the members of the Pandawaside going off to war including Bima, Arjuna, Yudistira (mounted on elephant) and the subsequent battle with Korawa figures including Drusasana, Dertarasta and Bisma. The distinctive tear-shaped filler motifs(aun-aun) on this painting mark it as a work from outside the main artistic centre of Kamasan.
