Jagannath traid is a 1910 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This round painting shows a busy scene with bright colors. Three figures stand under a temple-like roof, each holding something different. Above them, a row of smaller faces peeks out from the top edge. Below, two lions and a throne sit on a red base. The border is packed with tiny dots and swirls. The figures look like they’re part of a group, maybe from a story. The lions at the bottom might be guards or symbols. The painting feels flat and colorful, with bold outlines and no shading. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
The painting is a tempera on cloth circular panel from 1910 depicting the Jagannath triad, a representation of the deity Krishna alongside his siblings Subhadra and Balarama. Jagannath is shown being worshipped by Shiva on the left and the multi-headed Brahma on the right.
