'Ramayana,' wall hanging Home Decor Wall Decor Wall Accents 
Eight 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.
