The present painting is from the Himalayan series, and is one of the numerous views of Kanchenjunga. Roerich painted the famous mountain about a dozen times in the year 1924 alone, and continued to come back to this subject many times during his life. Each view of Kanchenjunga is distinctly different and unique. Roerich arrived in India at the end of 1923 and spent most of 1924 in Darjeeling, traveling extensively in the vicinity and in neighboring Sikkim. From now on mountains became the central theme in his creative work; however, the mountain scenes from 1924 (about eighty all in all) are easily distinguished by their vigor, freshness, and spontaneity.
