Amidst swirling dust and clashing steel, this dynamic painting brings to life the fierce Battle of Haldighati (1576) between Maharana Pratap of Mewar and the Mughal army led by Raja Man Singh I of Amber. At its heart, Pratap charges ahead on Chetak, facing Mughal forces mounted on armoured elephants. The Aravalli hills loom in the background, evoking the guerrilla warfare tactics of the Rajputs. Rich in detail—from weapons and turbans to the chaos of battle—the scene uses earthy tones and golds to underscore the valor and resistance that define this historic clash.
