Vintage Veer Hanuman in Battle Posture – Traditional Rajasthani Pahari Style (c. early 2000s) on Paper – 3 x 2 ft

This vibrant painting of Lord Hanuman, captured mid-motion with a raised gada (mace) and expressive posture, reflects the traditional Rajasthani Pahari miniature style, known for its bold forms and flat perspectives. Painted on hand-treated paper using natural and synthetic pigments, the artwork likely hails from a traditional artist family from Rajasthan or Himachal Pradesh.

Though approximately 20 years old, this piece is already acquiring vintage appeal due to the fading tradition of hand-painted religious iconography. The deep charcoal-grey background contrasts dramatically with Hanuman’s red face, muscular form, and ornate jewelry, giving it a powerful devotional presence.
