EDITORS COMMENTS
This folio from the 'Shangri' Ramayana, depicting Sita in the Forest Grove (left) and Rama and Lakshmana Stricken (right), dates back to the 18th century, approximately between 1700 and 1710. The creator of this exquisite work remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. On the left, Sita, the virtuous wife of Prince Rama, is shown in a serene setting, surrounded by lush greenery. She sits under a tree, her young, graceful form draped in rich fabrics, her face a picture of tranquility. The forest, teeming with life, is a stark contrast to the hardships she has endured. On the right, Rama and his brother Lakshmana are depicted in a state of despair. They are shown fallen, injured, and surrounded by animals, including a monkey named Jambavan, who is said to have played a crucial role in their rescue. The opaque watercolor on paper beautifully captures the raw emotion and the sense of loss and anguish. This artwork, originating from India or Southeast Asia, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. It is a visual narrative from the epic Ramayana, specifically the Yuddha Kanda, which recounts the trials and tribulations faced by Rama and Sita during their exile in the forest. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds depth and dimension to the story, making it a timeless piece of art that continues to captivate audiences even today.
