Summary

[edit]
Description

Double-sided folio from a Ramayana. Marwar, circa 1820-40. Opaque watercolour with gold on wasli. 31 x 19.6cm

This folio did not belong to a manuscript illustrating Valmiki's Rayana but to a regional variation of it. The upper side (above) has a picture of monkey king Bali fighting the demon Dundubhi, the lower has victorious Bali presenting the demon's head to Rama, who appears as a king. Normally we would expect to see the exiled Rama dressed only in leaves from the forest.

Licensing

[edit]
