In this scene detail from a painted mural at the Emerald Buddha Temple, baby Sita’s golden urn is carried to the king’s palace in a royal procession. The beautifully dressed king’s courtiers, carrying the closed golden urn, pass from the back to the front of the right half of the image. The canopy of a tree fills the left of the image, whose perspective is painted as if from above the procession line.
This image was photographed in August 1984.
