About the work
The narrative is depicted in a sequential storytelling format, often used in traditional scroll paintings. The main panel in the center depicts Lord Rama and Sita, seated on a grand throne after their victory over Ravana. They are surrounded by their companions, including Hanuman, Lakshmana and other members of the royal court. The 'Ramar Pattabhishekam' painting is framed with episodes from the Ramayana, the ancient Indian epic - including the Birth of Rama and his brothers, Rama breaking Shiva's bow at Sita’s swayamvara, the forest exile, abduction of Sita by Ravana, Hanuman’s journey to Lanka, battle scenes between Rama and Ravana, and Rama’s pattabhishekam as shown in the central scene. This painting celebrates Dharma (righteousness) and the triumph of good over evil. This painting brings a blend of spiritual blessings, positive vastu energy and cultural heritage to your space. (Note:Price of painting includes an anti-glare glass frame and a 2cm wood frame.)
