Sizes available: 1024×683 | 600×400

A Javanese dancer playing Rama pursues another dancer wearing the costume of a golden deer in a performance at Yogyakarta in July 1986.

Here Rama walks with his arrow drawn across his bow while the deer, really a demon sent to lure him away from Sita, is seen in the background.
