Bundi/Kota is a place in Rajasthan which nests the famous art school specialising in Rajasthani miniature paintings, known as the school of Bondi Kota. This particular painting is called "Maharao Umed Singh hunting tigers " painted by one of the scholars of this particular school, named Hans Raj Joshi (1750-1799). The painting depicts the great king hunting tigers in the dense forests of his kingdom. The composition compels the viewer to visually navigate the dense foliage in order to locate the tiger, which is depicted multiple times across the frame. This repetition not only fragments the animal’s presence but also simulates the perceptual experience of searching for game within a jungle environment. On the right side of the composition, this tension culminates in a moment of violence, where a tiger is shown mauling one of the attendants of the hunt.
