This detail on a painted mural at the Emerald Buddha Temple depicts Laksman, Rama, and Sita sitting on a rock deep in the forest during their fourteen year exile. A fourth individual with dark skin, a white turban, and a loin cloth, probably a forest hermit, sits respectfully below them on their left.
This image was photographed in August 1984.
