Images of this sort are typical of Bronze Age rock paintings discovered in India, Kirgizia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Western Tibet (Lahaul). The images depict the traditional scene of a round dance in honour of the god Gesar. Roerich returned several times to this character both in his paintings and his writings (The Sword of Gesar Khan). Gesar Khan was a religious hero in a Mongolian-Tibetan epic who cleansed the earth of monsters.
