This Rama and Sita
panel is carved from one solid piece of kepelan wood which strongly resembles
teakwood. It took the artist 3 months to carve. You can immediately see
how the artist has succeeded in creating brilliant detail, at once dreamlike and
realistic, as evidenced in the depictions of the flora and fauna and the emotive
faces of the figures.
Lord Rama is the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Rama
represents an ideal man. In the story of Ramayana, Rama's personality depicts
him as the perfect son, devoted brother, true husband, trusted friend, ideal
king, and a noble adversary. Rama is always ready to destroy evil and protect
righteousness. He is himself an embodiment of dharma. Sita symbolizes an
ideal daughter, wife, mother, and queen. Whereas Rama symbolizes standards
of perfection that can be conceived in all the facets of a man's life, mother
Sita represents all that is great and noble in womanhood, the perfect embodiment
of purity in thoughts, words, and deeds. She is revered as an incarnation of
Goddess Lakshmi, the divine consort of Lord Vishnu.
