Fig. 96. Hanumān in conversation with Rāvaṇa. Rāvaṇa, with only a single head, is seated in the *sukhāsana* pose, on a large throne. His left hand is in *sūcīhasta* pose, pointing to Hanumān in front of him. Rāvaṇa’s regal splendour is remarkably suggested by his beautiful figure, his posture and by the workmanship of the throne. Hanumān is seated on the coils of his own tail. His hands are placed on his knees. Between these is a figure holding a bow, probably Vibhīṣaṇa.
