CanvasDescription
This Pattachitra painting is a beautiful example of how Indian mythology and epic literature are visually narrated through folk art forms. 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 painting is framed with **circular and rectangular scenes** that narrate 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.Try it!
