Rama’s hometown city of Ayudhya is depicted surrounded with solid white walls on a Ramayana mural painting at the Emerald Buddha Temple.
The vantage point of this painting is from outside an inviting entrance gate door served by a well-worn footpath. Over the protective walls, the observer can see tiered roof buildings, gold spires, and trees inside the city. Mountains rise in the far distance beyond the walled city.
