A Meeting at a Temple Gateway in Mathura

My name is Isabella, and I will be your guide today through one of our most impressive paintings: "A Meeting at a Temple Gateway in Mathura." nn This painting is like a time machine! It takes us back to India, many, many years ago. Can you imagine traveling in a time machine? What do you think people wore back then? nn Look at the painting! The first thing we see is a beautiful temple. It's made of stone and has so many beautiful carvings. Don't you think it must have taken a long time to build? Inside the temple, we see a woman peeking out. I wonder what she's thinking! nn Outside, a man on a white horse is talking to a woman sitting down. He looks very fancy in his white clothes and red turban. What do you think they are talking about? Maybe a secret? nn The artist used bright colors to paint their clothes and made them look so real. If you look closely, you can almost feel the sunshine on your skin and hear the sounds of the city. nn This painting is like a puzzle, with so many details to discover. Each time you look at it, you might notice something new! What's your favorite part of the painting?
