[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 262018, member: 2844"]How much time have you got?:D It is an episode from the Ramayana from Bali and would have been pretty new when it was brought over. The Ramayana is one of those Hindu epics with as many names as a phone book, but the very short version is: King Rama was married to Sita (Ramo and Sinto in Javanese/Balinese) - the demon king Ravanna kidnapped Sita - Rama and his loyal friend, the monkey god Hanuman (Anoman in Jav/Bal) rescue Sita. This panel is the part where Rama and Hanuman with his monkey army are fighting the mighty demon army of Ravanna in his country of Lanka (Sri Lanka). Hanuman is the tragic hero who doesn't survive, but Rama and Sita are reunited. Hanuman is still the symbol of the loyal friend and protector of women, he is the white, monkey-faced noble. Rama and Sita are seen as the perfect couple. Rama is to the left of the tree in the third picture.[/QUOTE]
