Manaku of Guler was an Indian painter from the Guler State, in the mountainous region of northen India.  He was recognised as an exponent of the Pahari style of painting. Around 1730, he produced a series paintings which visually interpreted one of the central texts of Krishna worship: 'The Gita Govinda'. No painting of this 12th century text had ever been painted before in the Pahari region. The paintings were commissioned by Lady Malini. 'The Gita Govinda' evocative text speaks of "hot winds, fragrant with sandalwood and laden with serpent venom, which carry from the south into the Himalayas". In Manaku’s highly original realisation he defines the hot and unhealthy south with snake-entwined trees and the Himalayas with snow and ice. Above the snake entwined trees and the rocks we see a high horizon line which is edged with clouds.
