Oriental Moon Elexir -
an excursion into the world of the Indian Rajas
For centuries, regions of the Indian subcontinent were ruled by kings known as Rajas. Though their roles and responsibilities invariably changed over time, they remained permanent fixtures of Indian society. After the establishment of the British Raj in 1858 however, India was officially subsumed into the British Empire, raising questions about the position of the Rajas within the hierarchy of the imperialsystem.
The triptych "Oriental Moon Elexir" has a close connection to the secrets only known by rajas and initiates.
