Go-dhuli, the "Hour of Cow Dust," is an evocative, often sung about moment of rural life in India. Shepherds drive their herds of cows back to the villages at dusk. The horizon turns golden, and the slowly plodding herds kick up clouds of dust with their hooves.
The description of this so often praised moment forms, among other things, part of the multifaceted tales of the shepherd god Krishna, who spent his childhood and youth in the village of Gokul on the banks of the river Yamuna among the cowherds and shepherdesses of the Braj landscape.
In this tour we will look at newly laid out Indian miniatures. They are album pages that conjure up some idylls associated with Krishna's life in delicate paintings on paper. Curator: Martina Stoye
