Chandra-Bhaga (Path to Triloknath) 1932

"Chandra-Bhaga (Path to Triloknath)" is a 1932 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist known for his mystical landscapes. The painting depicts a panoramic view of the Himalayas, showcasing the dramatic grandeur of the mountain range. The winding river, a symbol of the path to enlightenment, cuts through the layers of vibrant blue and purple mountains, leading the viewer's eye toward the snow-capped peaks in the distance. Roerich's signature use of color creates a sense of both awe and serenity, reflecting his fascination with the spirituality of the East. This oil painting, now housed in the Nicholas Roerich Museum, is a testament to Roerich's artistic vision and his enduring interest in the Himalayas.
