Catalogue Note
A couple standing within the moated white walls of a lush garden exchange farewells. She stoically grasps the sash of his transparent white jama knowing he must soon depart as he prepares to leave for battle holding his spear. He points upward with one hand suggesting that good fortune hopefully will reunite them soon. A shrine to Hanuman with his battle mace raised, within the garden walls on a raised white platform.
In a dense forest Hanuman holds two slain deer as Rama and Lakshmana stride towards him.
