INDIAN EPIC MINIATURE ART PAINTING – Ramayana Epic painting style

DESCRIPTION: This beautiful Ramayana painting "Rama and sita engage in spiritual discussions with forest sages" of Ramayana Epic painting style, depicts –

In this Ramayana painting Rama led the way into the depths of Dandaka forest. Suddenly from the shadows emerged a huge deformed creature dressed in tiger skins, dragging behind it several animal carcasses. It pounded on Sita and carried her off. My name is Viradha, it roared and I will keep this woman. The demon saw that they were not ordinary ascetics and demanded to know who they were. Rama told him their names and shot seven arrows into the body of Viradha. In fury the demon released Sita and charged upon the two brothers. They rained arrows upon him, but he merely laughed and shrugged them off.

No weapon can hurt me. I was once a celestial being, but am now cursed to live as a man-eater. Only Rama, the son of Dasaratha, can free me. Now Rama to bury him alive, as this was the only way he could be killed. So they dug a deep pit and buried Viradha. With his last breath he murmured: Forgive me, lord, I did not recognize you. This forest is a dangerous place. Go to the sage Sarabhanga on the nearby hill and he will advise where you can safely stay.

They were about to leave when a throng of sages emerged from the forest to petition Rama. This region is terrorized by man-eating demons, they cried. Please fight them or we will all be killed. Rama promised them his protection. Sita, however, was against fighting. She wanted him to live in the forest without violence. They moved steadily south-west across the Deccan plateau, coming to Sutikishna’s ashram, on the peak of a mountain.

He advised them to travel through the region visiting the ashrams of saintly hermits. They did this and wherever they went were ample fruits and roots, herds of deer and crystal-clear lakes. Continuing westwards they reached the ashram of the sage Agastya. His strength kept that part of the forest free from demons. He received them with due honour and presented Rama with a set of divine weapons, once used by Vishnu.

Tell us where we should stay, asked Rama. Two days walk from here is the beautiful forest of Panchavati, replied the sage, always full of blossoms and close beside the river Godavari. There you must defend the sages from the attack of rakshasas. Agastya directions were clear, and resolved any doubts: using Vishnu’s weapons, rama must fight to defend the sages.
