A Sage Welcomes Lord Rama, Sita and Laxman

A Sage Welcomes Lord Rama, Sita and Laxman

by Godhu. From the Ramayana series
Kangra School. Around 1785 AD


         Lord Rama has been living in the jungle for some time. He has not only interacted with the sages, but has also protected them from demons and other dangers. Here a sage welcomes Lord Rama, Sita and Laxman to his hermitage. Hearing the news of His arrival, other sages make a que. A few sit in caves and meditate and perform austerities. The mountainous river with its boulders flows by.
         Godhu has caught the lush greenary of the forest, the unique rock formations.  The tranquillity of the landscape speaks volumes in this miniature.
         Generosity,  courage, humility,  a sharp mind and wit always wins laurels for us--even in the wilderness.
