The artist’s first depiction in Lanka of Sita in a beautiful garden surrounded by greenery and foliage with a beautiful tree in the centre of this artwork.
Hanuman startles Sita as he calls out to her unexpectedly showing her Ram’s ring and telling her he had sent him to find her.
Hanuman can be seen here flying south to Lanka. The son of the god of wind, Vayu he is depicted by the artist here with wind around him as he flies crossing the ocean to Lanka.
Hanuman actually had his powers taken away from him as a child by an angry sage, so it was Jambavana, the divine king of bears who lifted his curse and gave him his powers back so he could fly to Lanka.
Ram and Lakshman go to Rishyamuk mountain to meet the King of the Vanaras – Sugriva (son of the Sun God Surya), who was in exile. Ram promises Sugriva that he will kill his brother Vali who had ostracized him from his Kingdom and taken his wife, and reinstate him as the King of the Vanaras. Sugriva in turn promises to help Ram to find Sita.
The artist shows Ram and Lakshman talking to Sugriva and Hanuman on the mountain.
