When Sita was abducted by Ravana, the king of Lanka, she threw down her jewels and other possessions from his flying chariot, in the hope that the trail would guide Rama and Lakshmana to her. Rama and Lakshmana are depicted in the upper left corner, flying on the back of the monkey-god, Hanuman, in search of Sita. This painting, from a well-known series, illustrates an event from Kishkindha Kanda (Book 4) of the Ramayana.
