Sizes available: 1024×698 | 600×409

Sita’s two sons are received by Rama at palace, as seen in a mural detail at the Emerald Buddha temple.

Two small green-skinned boys kneel in prayer position beside two adults on a blue rug at the base of an ornately carved palace platform. Five monkey kings kneel in a row on the tile floor at the front. Everyone is looking up to the left towards Rama who is outside the image frame.

When Sita agrees to return to Rama, the whole family is reunited at the palace in a grand ceremony.

This image was photographed in August 1984.
