Rama's Marriage, 1913 - A Captivating Scene from the Ramayana Epic
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning print captures a pivotal moment in Hindu mythology, depicting Rama's marriage to Sita, daughter of King Janaka. Created by the talented artist K Venkatappa in 1913, this illustration beautifully brings to life an enchanting scene from the ancient Hindu epic, the Ramayana. In this image, we witness Rama proving his worthiness as a suitor by successfully wielding the great bow gifted to King Janaka by the god Shiva. The broken bow lies at their feet as they stand together amidst a backdrop of vibrant colors and intricate details that showcase Indian culture and tradition. The figures are adorned with exquisite jewelry and dressed in richly colored garments, reflecting both their royal status and cultural significance. Sister Nivedita and Ananda Coomaraswamy expertly narrate this tale through their book "Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists" which was published alongside this lithograph. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from a private collection dating back to early 20th century India, we are transported into a world where gods interact with mortals and legends come alive. This portrayal not only celebrates love but also highlights themes of devotion, faithfulness, and divine intervention that resonate deeply within Hinduism. Through its meticulous attention to detail and masterful composition, "Rama's Marriage" serves as an enduring testament to both artistic skill and religious storytelling
