EDITORS COMMENTS
This 10th century architectural panel, originating from Madhya Pradesh, India, showcases two significant scenes from the revered Hindu epic, the Ramayana. On the left, Hanuman, the revered monkey god and devotee of Lord Rama, is depicted carrying a mountain of medicinal herbs. With unwavering dedication, Hanuman holds the towering pile of plants and herbs, symbolizing his role as the bringer of healing and strength. The intricate carving showcases the delicate details of each herb, highlighting the importance of nature and its role in ancient Indian medicine. On the right, the epic battle between Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, and Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, unfolds. Rama, armed with his bow and arrow, stands resolute against the formidable Ravana, who lunges towards him with a menacing expression. The dynamic energy of the scene is palpable, as the two powerful figures clash in their legendary struggle for good over evil. This exquisitely hand-carved sandstone panel, adorned with rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of ancient India. The panel, now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a reminder of the enduring influence of the Ramayana and the captivating stories it holds. The panel's intricate decoration and the juxtaposition of the two scenes serve as a visual representation of the epic's themes of devotion, courage, and the triumph of good over evil.
