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 artwork set during the Battle of Lanka, shows Indrajit, Ravan’s son, who is versed in magic creating an illusion of Sita and killing her in front of Hanuman. He tries to stop him but is unsuccessful and then reports back to Ram that Sita has been killed. Fortunately, Vibishana, who knew of Indrajit’s powers enlightened him that the whole thing was an illusion.
The artist has created a very dramatic piece of work, showing the battle scene below, Hanuman in the air trying to stop Indrajit and Indrajit killing Sita in a very dark and tragic time.
This artwork shows Surasa, the demon mother of snakes opening her mouth very wide to swallow Hanuman as he flies to Lanka to find Sita, but he became bigger, so she opened her mouth even wider and Hanuman entered her mouth, but before she could eat him, he became very small and slipped out.
The artist shows the size and scale of the Surasa in this painting not only through her form but also through the waves she creates in the water as she moves.
