"Giants of Lahaul" is a 1931 oil painting by Nicholas Roerich, depicting a group of four figures carved into a rock face. The painting's vibrant colors and bold, geometric forms are characteristic of Roerich's style, which blended elements of Symbolism, Art Nouveau, and Eastern mysticism. The figures, reminiscent of ancient stone carvings, stand against a backdrop of rugged mountains, creating a sense of both awe and mystery. The painting reflects Roerich's interest in Himalayan culture and his belief in the power of art to inspire spiritual awakening. It is currently on display at the Bharat Kala Bhavan in Varanasi, India.
