☀️ The Painter of the Sun Kitaharasa Nepal

The most direct connection to a "painter of the sun" is the artist Kitaharasa, who painted a famous "Mandala of the Sun God Surya" in the 14th century. This is an extremely rare surviving piece from Nepal's Early Malla period (c. 1379) . The artist was actually named in the inscription, which is highly unusual for Nepalese art from that era . The painting depicts the sun god Surya riding in a chariot drawn by seven horses, an image considered the "painters of the sun" concept .
