This choḍ celebrates the completion of a fast connected to the Jain pilgrimage site of Ashtāpada and offers a striking reinterpretation of narrative structure. Rather than following the conventional left-to-right, row-by-row sequence of Jain manuscripts and illustrated texts, the story unfolds as a vertical ascent, mirroring the physical act of pilgrimage up the sacred mountain. This compositional choice invites viewers to engage in a metaphorical journey, reinforcing the devotional and ritual dimensions of storytelling while demonstrating the artists’ innovation in translating sacred narratives into textile form.
