Lakshmana in the service of Rama in the forest

This Shangri Ramayana folio is painted against the light blue background. Rama is lying on a piece of cloth under the shadow of four trees. It seems as if he is tired and in deep thoughts. Lakshmana is sitting near his feet holding bow and arrow, alert and attentive. The atmosphere is calm and serene.
