This a painting of the famous Swargrohini peak, one of the mountains of the Himalayan range. I had been there last spring. you need to trek for 3 days to reach this place. We had camped there for 2 days. In those 2 days I took many photos of the surroundings and this reference picture is one from that.
In the Indian mythology (in Mahabharata), the eldest brother of the Pandavas Yudishthir (also known as Dharm because he never committed any crime, not even a simple lie in his entire life) went to heaven from the top of this mountain. Hence the name of the mountain is Swargrohini . Swarg means heaven. Even though this mountain is not as high as Everest, it is so difficult to climb that till the day, no one is known to climb this mountain successfully.
I am not a mountaineer so I am not going to try to climb one. I just love to watch the mountains from a distance and enjoy the peaceful feeling they create in my heart.
