About Chandra-Bhaga (Path to Triloknath)

The artwork titled “Chandra-Bhaga (Path to Triloknath)” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1932. This painting, executed in tempera on canvas, is a notable example of the Symbolism art movement. Measuring 79 x 46 cm, the landscape genre piece is housed in the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City, NY, US.

The artwork depicts a serene and mystical landscape dominated by the river Chandra-Bhaga winding through mountainous terrain. The scene is bathed in delicate hues of blue, purple, and pink, encapsulating the ethereal qualities of the natural environment. In the foreground, two prominently placed structures, possibly stupas, add an element of cultural and spiritual significance to the composition. The distant mountains, painted in soft tones, reinforce a sense of tranquility and otherworldliness, echoing Roerich’s symbolic and introspective approach to art.
