Hindu women filling their Kedjeree pots with water is a 1826 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four women by a rocky shore, filling clay pots with water from a river. The woman on the left stands barefoot, wearing a white sari and a red cloth over her head. The others bend down, also in red and white clothing, with one child carrying a pot. In the background, palm trees line the horizon, and a few distant figures walk along the shore. The title says these women are collecting water for *kedjeree pots*—a type of clay container. The scene feels calm but busy, with soft colors and gentle brushstrokes. Look up Romanticism to see how this painting fits into that artistic movement.
Hindu women are depicted drawing water into their Kedjeree pots in a scene from a series of 35 drawings illustrating various trades and occupations.
