M.F. Husain has recurrently paid homage to Indian cultural traditions in their classical forms. The inter-disciplinary nature of music, sculpture, dance, painting and film provided enormous inspiration to Husain. In this work, the influence of classical Indian sculpture and Husain's interest to convert sculptural and three-dimensional figures into flat two-dimensional surfaces is clearly evident.
The figures in this composition are represented with strong lines and postures borrowed from Indian dance. In the 1970s through minimal use of color and by playing with the effect of white space, Husain created stunning harmony and sense of rhythm. In Wedding Chariot, the viewer feels the sense of movement and direction and becomes part of the procession. The golden yellow sparkles and references the use of turmeric in Indian wedding rituals. The entire composition exudes the joy of a wedding day.
