This print showcases "The Fall of Mandhata" a stunning stone sculpture from the Kusana dynasty in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. Created by the Indian School and currently housed at the National Museum of India in New Delhi, this artwork depicts an ancient Hindu tale known as "La Chute de Mandhata". Dating back to the 1st-3rd century, this masterpiece captures a pivotal moment in Hindu mythology. The sculpture portrays a male figure believed to be Mandhata, who was considered a chakravartin or universal ruler. As the story goes, Mandhata's downfall is depicted here with great detail and emotion. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this piece are truly remarkable.

As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness an epic event frozen forever in stone. It serves as a reminder that even those deemed invincible can face defeat. Through its historical significance and artistic brilliance, "The Fall of Mandhata" continues to captivate viewers today.
