Lakshmana and Sugriva Being Carried by Palanquin to Receive Rama's Blessings

Lakshmana and Sugriva Being Carried by Palanquin to Receive Rama's Blessings. Culture: India (Punjab Hills, Mankot). Dimensions: 6 1/4 x 10 1/4 in. (15.9 x 26 cm). Date: ca. 1710-25.
This depiction does not match the regal description of the event in the Ramayana: "Sugriva and Lakshmana mounted the golden litter that shone like the sun andwas supported by a large number of monkeys. A white canopy was spread over Sugriva's head and magnificent fans made of yaks' tails were waived about him. Eulogized by bards, to the sound of conches and trumpets, he set out in regal state." Here, Lakshmana and the monkey king Sugriva are conversing in a palanquin carried by four monkeys to offer allegiance to Rama. Leading the way through the forest are Hanuman and the bear king Jambavan and accompanying monkeys. This page, along with Hanuman before Rama and Lakshmana, is part of a large Ramayana series thought to be from the court studio at Mankot.
