A Family Scene: Rama and his Brothers in the Company of Raja Dashratha and his Three Queens
Keywords: Painting
Rajasthani Painting
Ramayana
Publisher: National Museum, New Delhi
Description: This Rajasthani style folio portrays Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna enjoying their food while their parents, Raja Dasharatha and his three queens, are delighted to watch them eating. Here, Raja Dasharatha is clearly portrayed as Kotah prince, with a large moustache and sideburns. Seated against a massive red bolster, he appears to be engaged in conversation with his eldest wife Kaushalya. The sky is dark implying night time, yet it contains a bright, sun-like motif, perhaps symbolising Rama's solar descent.
