    1. Obverse: The Slaying of the Demon Pralamba. Reverse: The Fight between Arjuna and Karna

      This water color painting displays the epic battle between Karna and Arjuna.

At the bottom of the painting, you can see the destroyed chariots and dead people who died in the battle. The medium the artist used is water color on paper.
