DailyArt Magazine Explores Dragons in East Asian Art and the Aṣṭa-Nāyikā in Pahari Painting

DailyArt Magazine published two art-historical features, one on dragons in East Asian art and another on the Aṣṭa-Nāyikā in Pahari painting. The second article, titled "The Eight Moods of Love: Exploring the Aṣṭa-Nāyikā in Pahari Painting," examines how love, longing, jealousy, anticipation, and devotion are depicted within the Pahari painting tradition. Shivani Gupta is credited as the author of that piece, dated 22 June 2026. The article frames these emotions as among the most universal human experiences and positions the artistic traditions that explored them as unusually rich. The source material does not specify a venue, exhibition, or institution connected to either feature, nor does it name individual artists, museums, or cities. Both pieces appear as editorial art-history content on the DailyArt Magazine platform rather than as coverage of a specific event. No further details on the dragon article's content, author, or publication date are provided in the source material.
