Description: This Sri Rama Patabhishekam painting depicts one of the most widely represented scenes from the epic Ramayana, the coronation of Lord Rama as the king of Ayodhya, after his 14-year long exile. Lord Rama is seated on a golden throne under a bejewelled mandapam and is surrounded by his brothers, Bharata and Shatrughna, who attend to him lovingly. Sita is seated beside Rama and at his feet are Lakshmana and Hanuman.
This brightly colored and gilded composition adds a slightly modern touch to the Tanjore style.
