This beautiful artwork shows Jatayu, the King of the Vultures swooping through the sky trying to stop Raavan flying off in his vimana with Sita. Raavan aiming his bow and arrow directly at him cuts off Jatayu’s wings leading to his eventual death as he falls from the skies.

The artist shows how rich Lanka must be with his depiction of Ravan’s beautifully decorated and styled Vimana set high in the sky amongst the clouds.
