'Ramayana,' wall hanging Home Decor Wall Decor Wall Accents 
Ten panels dramatically portray scenes from the Ramayana, the
famed Hindu epic relating the travails and triumphs of Rama
and his wife Sita. Etched on palm leaf in a
style known as lontar, this wall hanging by Nengah Dika
revels in calm colors and expressive details. Framed by a
pair of bamboo rods and strung together by sturdy filaments,
the work is sure to offer a unique touch of
Bali to any dcor. The artisan has written out the
Ramayana in Balinese on the back of the wall hanging.
In the epic, Rama is the heir to the kingdom
of Ayodya, but through treachery Rama's stepmother forces her husband
to proclaim her own son as the new heir to
the throne. Rama and Sita are sent into exile in
the forest of Dandaka. There, Sita is kidnapped by Rahwana,
the gigantic ogre king of Langka. Hanoman, the white monkey
general, and Laksmana, Rama's brother, help Rama to free his
sequestered wife. Unsure of Sita's faithfulness during their time apart,
Rama subjects her to fire, proving her honor when she
emerges unscathed.
