Wood relief panel, 'Rama and Sita in Exile' Art Gallery Sculpture Wood - Relief Panels Cultural 
This
exquisitely carved panel in relief features intricate tracery and splendid
attention to detail by master carver Wayan Rendah. Crafted from
native suar wood, the panel portrays a scene from the
ancient heroic story of the Ramayana. It is a stirring
epic tale of personal loyalty and unswerving devotion, religious faith
and knightly exploits. The original narrative was written in Sanskrit
by Valmiki many hundreds of years ago, although versions in
many languages exist as Hinduism and the Indian diaspora spread
throughout the world. In this beautifully carved panel we
see a scene from the Ramayana's third book, the Aranya-kanda.
Rama and Sita live in exile in the forest, and
we see their passionate love for each other as well
as their shared profound spiritual bond. Rama expresses gratitude to
his loyal and virtuous wife, who sacrificed her many comforts
and willingly shared his life and hardship. Enjoy a
stunning example of consummate talent and profound spiritual vision created
by Wayan Rendah.
