This monochromatic composition by Manash Ranjan Jena reinterprets the Mahabharata’s Pandavas through a Cubist-inspired style. The fragmented forms and overlapping figures suggest unity, struggle, and resilience. The central framed figure likely represents Yudhishthira, symbolizing wisdom and morality. The surrounding figures reflect the strength and conflicts of Pandavas. Layered textures, muted tones, and angular forms create tension and introspection, highlighting the timeless themes of dharma and fraternity.
