EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a scene of Aryans settled in India, engaging in an open-air sacrifice as part of their religious rites. The primitive Aryans depicted here lived simple agricultural lives, tending to cattle and flocks of sheep and goats while always being prepared for defense. Milk was their primary beverage, and the men performed sacrifices accompanied by hymns or recitations, with women playing no part in these rituals.
The illustration provides a glimpse into the patriarchal society of the Aryans, who had neither temples nor images but conducted their religious practices outdoors. The image has been digitally enhanced to bring out the details and make it easier for reproduction.
As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we are transported back to early 20th-century India when such scenes were common among Aryan settlements. The intricate details captured by artist Horace van Ruith offer us a window into the cultural practices and beliefs of this ancient civilization.
This lithograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped India's diverse cultural landscape over centuries, showcasing the unique blend of agriculture, religion, and societal structures that defined Aryan life in ancient times.
