Rama and Lakshmana armed with bows and arrows leaving for the forest.. Artist(s): Sita Devi (fl. 1970s)
- Scope & Content:
-
Rama and Laksmana armed with bows and arrows leaving for the forest, above them Sita. To their rear, a massive figure bidding them farewell.
By Sita Devi, a Maithil Brahmin woman of village Jitwarpur, Madhubani district, Bihar, July 1974.

Note: This is possibly Visvamitra taking Rama and Laksmana into the forest to deal with the demoness Tadaka: the floating female figure above is more demonic than attractive.
