An Indian painting shows Rama shooting arrows in battle with Ravana’s demons.

On a bright yellow background, the painting shows Rama with dark blue skin stepping forward and shooting a volley of arrows with a drawn bow. He is wearing only a tunic skirt and cap that appear made of large brown leaves.

Arrows also fly through the air in Rama’s direction. But Rama is unharmed while several demons and their detached body parts fall chaotically at left, their bodies stuck with dozens of Rama’s powerful arrows. One demon is so covered with Rama’s arrows that they radiate around his head and upper torso like evenly space rays of the sun.
