**Rāmāyaṇa: Lakṣmaṇa removing a thorn from Rāma’s foot.** Rāma reclines, supported by Sītā, while Lakṣmaṇa extracts the thorn. A monkey is fanning Rāma with a lotus leaf, and other monkeys are fetching water or themselves drinking. The photograph does not show clearly the Himālayan peaks at the upper left-hand corner, nor the faded Gurmukhī inscription on the margin. Pahāṛī (Kāṅgṛā), late 18th century. Size of original. Lahore Museum. Vol. i, pp. 59, 60, 71.
