Painting illustrating Kṛṣṇa and the Pandavas visiting the dying Bhishma from the epic Razmnameh. Originally from manuscript Bhishma lies in the centre of the scene surrounded immediately by kneeling attendants, while warriors and horsemen stand in the near distance amidst a rocky landscape. All men express visual concern for Bhishma's awaiting death. Text appears along the border in the bottom left corner. Painted in opaque watercolours and ink on paper.

Artist: Ram Das
Date: ca.1598

Bhishma Pitamah jee Waited For The Longer Days, that Happen after 13 Jan on Lohree ... That is Uttaraayaan ... Great Men who Leave Body do not Come back in the cycle of Birth and Death. Akbar was a Great Man who intergrated Muslims and Sanatan Dharma.. also Made Deen E Ilahee. . Islam was much respected and people Lived inn Peace, URDU was createc to Make India ONE.
