Sita walks through the forest with a hermit in this mural detail from the Emerald Buddha Temple.

The crowned Sita walks with her right hand bent across her chest. She follows just behind a moustached hermit who carries a walking stick and a palm leaf fan. They both wear inticately painted cloth sarongs. The hermit wears a matching tunic draped over one shoulder and a headscarf. In this portrayal, Sita appears as narrow-waisted as ever even though she is pregnant.
