This painting shows the site of the Yagna in the forest where the sages were trying to conduct their prayers. Ram and Lakshman told the sages to begin their rituals whilst they stood guard. As soon as they began the demons Subahu and Maricha appear and you can see Ram and Lakshman here battling with them.
The artist uses a wonderful contrast of colour with the green of the forest against the red raging clouds created by the demons and depicts their battle in a wonderful setting.
This painting depicts the moment when King Dashrath of Ayodhya, who wanted children, performed a sacred prayer called a yagna to ask Lord Brahma, the Creator God. Lord Agni came out of the yagna and handed Dashrath a pot of kheer (rice pudding) advising him to distribute it among his three Queens – Queen Kaushalya, Queen Kaikeyi and Queen Sumitra.
The artist captures the beauty of the flames and the divineness of Lord Agni by his sheer size with the beautiful kingdom of Ayodhya as the backdrop.
This artwork shows Ram’s brother Bharat asks for his sandals as a symbol of his presence on the throne as a sign of respect to his right, which he then places on the royal seat of Ayodhya and he agrees to become the caretaker of the kingdom until Ram returns.
The artist shows the three Queen mothers in the background watching him take Ram’s sandals gracefully from the forest before returning back to Ayodhya.
