Rama calls upon his mother Kausalya. Artist(s): Sahib Din (fl.1628-53)
- Scope & Content:
-
[numbered above 11].
On the right, Dasaratha again tells Rama he will make him king, with Vasistha, Laksmana, another Brahmin and ministers in attendance. Rama and Laksmana then leave the king to call on Kausalya on the left, who, dressed in white, is worshipping a small, gold image of Visnu, with Sumitra beside her. As a portent of impending disaster, their meeting is spied on by Kaikeyi’s maid Manthara from a window in the high wall. Below Rama and Laksmana then depart to their palace in a chariot to prepare for the ceremony amidst general rejoicing, and to the accompaniment of the drums and trumpets that announce royal arrivals and departures.
