An illustration to the Ramayana: The Sage Vishvamitra Requests from King Dasharatha the Assistance of His Son Rama Kangra, circa 1800
gouache and gold on paper, identifying inscriptions in nagari script on painted surface, blue and gold floral inner border, pink stippled outer border, one line of nagari text verso 275 x 385 mm.
|In this illustration the sage Vishvamitra is visiting King Dasaratha to ask if his sons Rama and Lakshmana can help rid him of the demons Marich and Subahu who have been troubling him. King Dasaratha is reluctant as Rama is still only young, but eventually relents. This part of the narrative paves the way for many of their later interactions with ascetics in the forest and foreshadows their many battles with demons throughout the Ramayana. The same scene is depicted in a folio in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, accession number 1976.14.
