Ramas Brothers Bharata and Shatrughna set out from Ayodhya to find Rama and Lakshmana
Ramas Brothers Bharata and Shatrughna set out from Ayodhya to find Rama and Lakshmana in the forest to inform them of the death of their father Dasharatha, 1775-80. The artist has masterfully set the somber procession against the stark white walls of the city. The rigid horizontal planes magnify the seriousness of the occasion. The king has died of sorrow for having been obliged to send his favorite son Rama into exile. Ramas two youngest brothers, in the middle of the page wearing gold crowns, are setting out from the capital to find Rama, hoping to persuade him to return now that their father has died. A vignette showing how daily life still goes on is included at the upper right, where bullocks turn a water wheel made of clay pots to irrigate the fields

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the ancient Indian epic, Ramayana. The artist's skillful composition transports us to Ayodhya, where the somber procession of Ramas Brothers Bharata and Shatrughna unfolds against the backdrop of stark white city walls. With rigid horizontal planes emphasizing the gravity of the occasion, we witness their departure from the capital to find Rama and Lakshmana in the forest. The heart-wrenching reason behind this journey becomes apparent - their father Dasharatha has passed away due to sorrow over sending his beloved son Rama into exile. Clad in gold crowns, symbolizing their royal lineage, these two youngest brothers embark on a mission to inform Rama about their father's demise and persuade him to return home. Amidst this solemn scene, a vignette at the upper right corner reminds us that life continues even amidst tragedy. Bullocks tirelessly turn a water wheel made of clay pots, irrigating fields as daily routines persist despite personal grief. Rendered with opaque watercolor and delicate gold accents by an unknown artist from Himachal Pradesh's Pahari Kingdom of Kangra during 1775-80, this painting is housed within The Cleveland Museum of Art. A testament to heritage artistry and cultural storytelling, it serves as a visual window into Northern India's rich history and mythology.
