On this mural detail at the Emerald Buddha Temple, Sita, Rama, and Laksman depart the palace in Ayudhya for fourteen years of forest exile. Here they are shown with Sita’s skin painted white on the left, Rama’s painted green in the middle, and Laksman’s painted tan on the right. They all are dressed in royal gold clothes with crowns, and walk with bare feet across the palace’s blue tiled floor.

Sita and Rama both walk with their hands raised upward, palms forward, while Laksman jumps at their side on his left leg, his right leg flexed outward to his right and his arms holding a royal gold scepter out to his left.
