Let's go fly a #Kite on #MakarSankranti (today) also known as #Uttarayan when the Sun transits from the #Zodiac of #Sagittarius to #Capricorn marking the end of winters

Flying kites is a part of celebrations as Lord #Krishna does in this c1775 CE #IndianMiniaturePainting from #Datia now at #Asian #Art #Museum (#Smithsonian)

What fascinates me more is the fact that ancient Indians #Hindu had immense knowledge of #Astronomy

'A Glimpse of the Loved One'.
c1750 CE #Rajput #IndianMiniaturePainting from #Bundi #Rajasthan #India from #EdwinBinney collection now at San Diego #Museum of #Art USA

The #Nayika is taking care of her dress so that her lover will be pleased when he sees her. But, the 'Peeping Tom' is already watching her.
The theme is derived from the love-play between Lord #Krishna & Radha in which the mischief reflects the all-seeing nature of the #Hindu God.
