1764 Indonesian Art Wayang Batik Tulis

Indonesian Art Wayang Batik Tulis 

 This is a scene from the Mahabharat in which the Pandavas and Kauravas engage in a devastating war. The fight is for righteousness and has lessons in duty, alliances and righteous living.

In this scene, Semar along with the other Punakawan enter the Palace of the Kauravas.
Semar intends to convince Kripacharya - one of the elders and guru of the Kauravas - to change the minds of his students the Kauravas to avoid war with the Pandavas.
