This traditional Balinese painting pictures the punishments awaiting evil doers in Hell. It is painted in the Kamasan style, a very traditional form of painting associated with the village of Kamasan in Klunkung regency on the island of Bali. The village was known as a centre for producing artists and painters in the customary style and strictly depicted visual narratives of the Hindu-Javanese epics such as the Mahabharata and Ramayana as well as indigenous tales like the Panji stories primarily for religious and ceremonial purposes.
