For Hindus the river Ganges is sacred – to bathe in its waters is not just to prepare to meet the divine, but already to be embraced by it. The river brings salvation to the dead and is used to address ancestors and make offerings. In this painting, King Harischandra is shown bathing in the Ganges with his wife and son at Kashi, now called Varanasi. The blue figure is a messenger, reminding Harischandra of his promise to give away his kingdom. The king kept his promise and was rewarded with a place in heaven.
