description: <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">arjuna</u> and Bhima preparing for battle, from a Razmnaameh <p>Mughal India, early 17th century Opaque watercolour and ink on paper </p> <p>This dramatic composition illustrates one of the last battles before the final great battle of the epic. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">arjuna</u>, the mighty warrior, and Bhima, the strongest of the Pandava brothers, stand on tehir <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">chariots</u> readying their arrows. </p> Surrounding them are an inner circle of war elephants and an outer circle of cavalry on armoured horses. As before, the armour is Mughal, in contrast to the 'ancient' <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">chariots</u>. The small scale of the figures and large size of the page indicate that this comes from a later manuscript than the 1598 Razmnameh.
